Determination of estuarine sedimentation rates using 230Thexcess and 230Thexcess/232Th ratio methods in the Paka estuary, Malaysia

The vertical profiles of 230Thexcess and 230Thexcess/232Th in a sediment core have been used to determine the sedimentation rates of Terengganu River estuary, Malaysia. Applying the 230Thexcess and 230Thexcess/232Th method, U and Th isotopic involved complete dissolution of the samples, followed by...
