Abstract
Sediment accumulation rates were estimated from the vertical distribution of excess 210Pb in
sediment cores collected at 3 stations in the Gokova Bay Aegean Sea by measuring the α emission of 210Po. The Turkish coastal zone of the Aegean Sea has been heavily industrialized
in the last 20 years. “The sediment accumulation rates were calculated to vary from
0.21±0.01cm.y-1 (0.13±0.01 g.cm-2y-1) to 0.49±0,05 cm.y-1 (0.26±0.03 g.cm-2y-1). The
unsupported 210Pb flux was calculated from the accumulated dry matter o f the examined slices
and their unsupported 210Pb concentrations. The flux of unsupported 210Pb varies between 23 ±
4 and 47 ± 3 Bq.m-2y-1.
