摘要：Sedimentary processes occur intensively in Tanjung Api-Api area situated in the estuary of Musi Banyuasin river. A study on 210Pb isotopes of the sediments has been done to understand the rate of sedimentation. For that purpose, the Marine Geological Institute (MGI) has also conducted bathymetry and sediment distribution mappings. Two samples represent depths of 17-30 cm and 190-210 cm below sea floor give age of 11.54 and 22.45 years. The average of sedimentation rate is 2.03 cm/years (from 0 to 0.3 m below seafloor) and 8.9 cm/years (until 2.1 m depth below seafloor). The result shows, decreasing sedimentation rate upward, that indicates the surficial sediment less influenced by wave and surface current nowadays.
