OSTI ID:4080925
A review is presented of the state of research on the radioelements in the ocean and the chronology of ocean sediments. The principles of radioactive methods of age measurement are outlined. Tables are given showing the half life, concentration, isotopic abundance, and decay rates for natural radioisotopes in the ocean. The geochemical balance of isotopes in the three radioactive families in the ocean is shown. Data on the radioisotope content of recent pelagic sediments covering great ocean depths where sedimentation is slow are presented and discussed. Finally, chronological methods are discussed including those based on decrease of a cosmogenic isotope, decrease of ionium or protactinium, or increase of ionium and protactinium. 37 references.
