  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">These sample data are from sediment cores collected using a NIOZ (Royal 
Netherlands Institute for Sea Research design) Box Corer during 3 surveys 
conducted by the Research Vessel (RV) Cefas Endeavour. Samples were analysed 
for and data presented for lead-210 ( 210Pb), polonium-210 (210Po), 
caesium-137 (137Cs), radium-226 (226Ra), radium-228 (228Ra), and 
potassium-40 (40K)and used to help validate the range of sediment 
accumulation rates observed in the top 30 cm of the core (e.g., 137Cs) and 
assess any potential mineralogical changes across the studied core segment 
(e.g., 40K).</dc:description>
