摘要
Considerable doubt surrounds the nature of processes by which Cs-137 is deposited in marine sediments, leading to a situation where Cs-137 geochronology cannot be always applied suitably. Based on extrapolation with Weibull distribution, the maximum concentration of Cs-137 derived from asymptotic values for cumulative specific inventory was used to re-establish Cs-137 geochronology, instead of original Cs-137 profiles. Corresponding dating results for cores in Tokyo Bay and Ise Bay, Japan, by means of this new method, are in much closer agreement with those calculated from Pb-210 method than the previous method.
