Summary

These sample data are from sediment cores collected using a NIOZ (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research design) Box Corer during 3 surveys conducted by the Research Vessel (RV) Cefas Endeavour. Samples were analysed for and data presented for lead-210 ( 210Pb), polonium-210 (210Po), caesium-137 (137Cs), radium-226 (226Ra), radium-228 (228Ra), and potassium-40 (40K)and used to help validate the range of sediment accumulation rates observed in the top 30 cm of the core (e.g., 137Cs) and assess any potential mineralogical changes across the studied core segment (e.g., 40K).
