Distribution of foraminifera in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, over the past century

摘要

Foraminiferal and radionuclide data have been used to investigate environmental change that has occurred within Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, over the last century. Environmental conditions were evaluated for three time slices; (1) the modern environment as determined by surficial (0-1 cm) sediments, (2) short-core intervals representing approximately 40 years BP, as determined by Cs-137 activity, and (3) short-core intervals representing approximately 120 years BP, as determined by Pb-210 activity.
