Abstract

This paper presents the results of the first isotopic investigations of sediments recovered from Lake Wigry (NE-Poland). In the spring/summer 2002 few sediment cores, plant samples and water profiles were collected specially for isotopic investigations. We obtained ²¹⁰ Pb activity profiles, ¹³⁷ Cs activity profiles and ¹⁴ C activity/age profiles. Apparent ages of carbonate fraction for all sediment cores were determined. Sedimentation rates for collected cores were estimated using ¹⁴ C dating method. In addition oxygen isotopic ratios of the water profiles, carbon stable isotopes ratio of collected sediment cores were determined.
