Abstract
Short cores (20-30 cm) were taken from two sites in the southwestern Kattegat at similar water depths )<20 m; under the pycnocline but with different exposures and resuspension rates ( gross sedimentation rates: 3419 and 6275 g m-2y1, net sedimentation rates: 469 and 479 g m-2y1, respectively). They were dated by 210 Pb and analysed for their content of organic matter, bulk density, foraminifera, selected elements and grain-size distribution.
