Sedimentation rates and fluxes in the continental shelf ...
· Sedimentation rates in shelf mud fields of the Bay of Biscay (the Gironde shelf mud patches and "La Grande Vasière") were investigated for a 100yr time scale, using 210 Pb geochronology of nine cores. The distribution of apparent sedimentation rates reveals a general trend along the terrigenous dispersal system from the Gironde outlet of: no or negligible (< .
