Abstract

The application of210Pb dating to an inshore marine deposit off the California coast has been successful. The amounts of unsupported210Pb annually accumulated in the Santa Barbara sediments are much greater than those from lake and glacial deposits and than the amount produced through the decay of radium in the overlying water column.
