Accumulation of Mekong River-Derived Sediment in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea

Abstract

This grant from the Office of Naval Research supported analytical costs (Pb-210 and C-14) at North Carolina State University on sediments collected by the investigators from the Mekong dispersal system off the coast of Vietnam. A one-year no cost extension was approved for this grant. The radiochemical measurements supported by this grant are part of an article in the research journal, Marine Geology (Late Holocene Evolution of the Mekong Subaqueous Delta, Southern Vietnam, by Zuo Xue, J Paul Liu, Dave DeMaster, Lap Van Nguyen. Thi Kim Oanh Ta; 2010, vol. 269: pp. 46-60), which has just been published. The authors of the article include the Ph.D. graduate student on the project (Xue), the PIs (DeMaster and Liu), and the 2 collaborators from Vietnam (Lap and Thi). A pdf file of this research publication has been attached as part of this report.
