Natural radionuclides contents in marine sediment: evidence for the paleoproductivity

A sediment core was obtained at one station in the North Pacific region, and for analyzed uranium, thorium and their daughter nuclides, and combustible fraction. Their concentrations vary considerably in the surface layer but was constant at deeper depth. This variation could be due to the temporal...
