Fukushima Radiocesium Fallout and Glaciochemistry in Arctic Snow Pits
Glaciochemical profiles of 134Cs and 137Cs concentrations, stable water isotopes (delta 18O and delta deuterium), and trace element concentrations (strontium - Sr, cadmium - Cd, cesium - Cs, barium - Ba, lanthanum - La, cerium - Ce, praseodymium - Pr, lead - Pb, bismuth - Bi, uranium - U, arsenic -...
