  • Eighteen sediment vibrocores, 0.2～6 m long, were collected from the Yangtze estuary in different sedimentary facies, including tidal flat, flood tidal channel, delta front, prodelta and delta-shelf transition zone, to examine the modern depositional characteristics in the study area. Measurement of 210 Pb was performed for all sediment vibrocores and 137Cs app lied for 6 of them. CIC ( constant initial concentration) datingmodelwas used to calculate the sedimentation rate using 210 Pb data. The results obtained show the silty clay and clayey silt in the tidal flat and tidal channel, fine sand and silt in the delta front facies. Fine-grained sediment, mostly the clayey silt, consists of the pro-delta facies, and clay-silt-sand constitutes the delta-shelf transition zone. On the basis of relative continuous sediment record, our radiometric measurement demonstrates that the highest sedimentation rates ( ～2.0 to 6.0 cm /yr) were found in the prodelta facies, reflecting p rocesses of the interface of estuarine mixed water and the seawater. Lower sedimentation rate of 0.81 cm /yr can be recognized form the prodelta margin, but the rate is hardly recorded in the delta-transition zone due to terminatingmodern sedimentation seaward.The higher sedimentation rates (1.03～1.94 cm /yr) occur in the tidal flat of Hengsha Island and Nanhui, and lower ones (0.51～0.76 cm /yr) in the Chongming Island,indicating the southeastward transport of the suspended sediment in the Changjiang estuary. The sedimentation rate in the flood tidal channel is about 0.69～0.86 cm /yr, showing the rapid deposition due to the discrete flood and ebb currents. The sedimentation rates proposed here is of significance to evaluate the sediment budget from the up stream in the past centennial time scale and in particular is to provide an analogue for after Damming study at Three-Gorges

On the basis of relative continuous sediment record, our radiometric measurement demonstrates that the highest sedimentation rates ( ～2.0 to 6.0 cm /yr) were found in the prodelta facies, reflecting p rocesses of the interface of estuarine mixed water and the seawater. Lower sedimentation rate of 0.81 cm /yr can be recognized form the prodelta margin, but the rate is hardly recorded in the delta-transition zone due to terminatingmodern sedimentation seaward.The higher sedimentation rates (1.03～1.94 cm /yr) occur in the tidal flat of Hengsha Island and Nanhui, and lower ones (0.51～0.76 cm /yr) in the Chongming Island,indicating the southeastward transport of the suspended sediment in the Changjiang estuary.
