Geochronology of 210Pb in sediments of Sepang Besar River, Malaysia

Geochronological studies to determine pattern and rate of sediment deposition is still lacking in Malaysia. The aim of this study is to investigate geochronological pattern of 210Pb in core sediments of the Sepang Besar River. Sediment cores were collected from rivermouth, middle course and upper co...
