Seabed Accumulation Rates

Sedimentation rate map of the European Seas (e.g. the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Barents Sea, the sea around Iceland, the Iberian Coast, the Western Mediterranean Sea (within EU waters), the Adriatic Sea, the Ionian Sea and the Central Mediterranean Sea (within EU waters), the Aegean-Levantine Sea (within EU waters – including the Turkish sector) and the Black Sea.

The map is collated and compiled within the EMODnet-Geology project. Estimations of modern sedimentation rates (cm/year) are based mainly on the 137Cs and the 210Pb dating. The 137Cs could be used as a time-marker in the sediment column. In the sediment column the activity peak of 137Cs corresponds to the fallout of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident of April 1986. Some sedimentation rates were estimated from acoustic-seismic and sediment core data.

This version was produced October 10th, 2016.
