Abstract
The main objective of this study is to estimate the sediment distribution pattern in the outer part of the Songkhla Lagoon in southern Thailand by measuring the cosmogenic 7Be in the lake bottom sediment cores The results indicate that 7Be inventories are larger in the areas where channels collecting water from large subcatchments flow into the lake mouths of Pak Ro UTapao Ro1 and Ro3 canals Lower 7Be inventory areas are observed near mouth of channel transporting eroded materials from smaller subcatchments and at the northern tip of Koh Yo island which is strongly influenced by tidal currents and wind waves which can probably cause sediment resuspensionThis research was financially supported by the Prince of Songkla University project code SCI550111S the National Research Council of Thailand project code SCI560125S the Physics Department Geophysics Research Center Faculty of Science and the graduate fellowship from the Graduate School Prince of Songkla University In addition the first author would like to thank the Prince of Songkla University Graduate Studies Grant We thank Associate Professor Seppo Karrila Faculty of Science and Industrial Technology Prince of Songkla University and the Research and Development Office of the Prince of Songkla University for English proof reading service The Thai Meteorological Department is acknowledged for providing the meteorological data at the Songkhla station
