| The extreme Rhone River flood that peaked in early December 2003 with water discharges as high as 11,500 m(3) s(-1), induced major damage in southern France and transferred large amounts of radionuclides that were associated with suspended particulate matter such as Be-7, Cs-137 and Pb-210. Specific marine locations in the close vicinity of the Rhone River Mouth were sampled three times in December 2003, February 2004 and April 2004 in order to quantify the consequences of flood events in the Rhone River Prodelta and to investigate the sedimentary depositional patterns through time. The Pb-210(xs) profile analyses in sediment revealed the existence of two particulate matter inputs, one that was related to the December extreme flood and the other to a peak... |
