Abstract

International audienceDating recent sediment archives (<150 years) constitutes a prerequisite for reconstructing soil erosionand deposition processes during the last several decades. Radiocesium ($^{137}$Cs) emitted duringthermonuclear bomb testing ($^-$1950 - $^-$1980) and nuclear accidents (1986 and 2011) was generally used for identifying sediment sources or for establishing sediment core chronology based on discrete time markers. Although this method has been widely used during the last several decades, there is a lack of structured and comprehensive worldwide synthesis of both natural and artificial fallout radionuclidesused for dating sediment cores in environmental and Earth sciences. The current literature overview wasbased on 573 a...
