Abstract
Rates of surficial sediment mixing and sediment burial are measured in Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, using radionuclide tracers. Based on (106)Ru profiles in 16 cores, mixing rates average 13 sq cm/yr within the upper 9 cm of sediment. Two other nuclides (210)Pb profiles estimate sediment burial rates (about 0.4 cm/yr). Mixing estimates are shown to be fairly insensitive both to uncertainties in sediment burial rates and to temporal patterns of (106)Ru deposition. copyright (c) Pergamon Press Ltd. 1983.)
