Abstract

Cs and ¹⁴C AMS were analyzed for the Bosten Lake sediment cores in Xinjiang, arid China. In the BST-4 core ¹³⁷ Cs section, there are obvious 1986 Chemobyl nucleus accident peak and 1975, 1963 peaks, which are important age characteristics for the Bosten lake sediment. The sedimentation rate, which was average 0.13±0.01 g/cm ² .a, was stable in the Bosten Lake by analysing the mass depth and ages. It is very similar to that from the ¹⁴C age, 0.13±0.03cm/a for BSTC-1 core and 0.12±0.05cm/a for xb46 core, in Bosten Lake after middle Holocene and show that the depositional environment was stable and the ¹⁴C ages were accurate. From the ¹⁴C age of the samples in Bosten Lake, it can be calibrated the old carbon effect produced by the hard water in the lakes and old carbon effect can lead to the old age for the ¹⁴C age in analysing the lake organic matters in sediments. We obtained the result of about 650a old effect in Bosten lake from the ¹⁴C age and the sedimentation rate by the ¹³⁷ Cs data.
- Bosten lake,¹³⁷Cs,
- sedimentation rate,¹⁴C AMS age,
