Tracking natural and human impact on sediment dynamics using radiometric approach in Oualidia lagoon (Morocco)
Published in International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry
Chemical analysis, grain size distribution and short-lived radionuclides (210Pb and 137Cs) were combined to investigate the sedimentary processes in the Oualidia lagoon. Grain size and major elements profiles indicate an unexpected change in the layers characterising 1978 and 1986. Sediment accumulation rates (SAR) depth profiles exhibited the same...
