Recent sediment accumulation rates in Adventfjorden (Svalbard), a small subpolar fjord, were determined by 210 Pb and 137 Cs dating. Modern rates in the central basin decrease downfjord from 1.87 to 0.87 cm y -1 (2.6 to 1.19 g cm -2 y -1 ). Comparison of the modern values (1986-2001) with older ones...
