Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

Slide presentation describing radionuclide dating (Pb-210, Cs-137, Be-7) of fine hyporheic sediments from the gravel bed at Relative River Mile 2.95–3.00 on the South River. Methods include core sampling, passive suspended-sediment collectors, and texture-adjusted activity modeling. Results indicate fines to ~25 cm may be ~100 years old, an apparent aggradation ~2 mm/yr, and persistent mercury in deposits.
