Scientific paper

Rates of surficial sediment mixing and sediment burial are measured in Shagawa Lake, Minnesota, using radionuclide tracers. Based on 106 Ru profiles in 16 cores, mixing rates average 13 cm 2 /yr within the upper 9 cm of sediment. Two other nuclides, 210 Pb and 137 Cs, provide further evidence for calculation of mixing rates. In addition, 210 Pb profiles estimate sediment burial rates (about 0.4 cm/yr). Mixing estimates are shown to be fairly insensitive both to uncertainties in sediment burial rates and to temporal patterns of 106 Ru deposition.
