Popis: In the article original data on isotope composition of natural excess Pb-210 and artificial Cs-137 radionuclides in upper 2550-cm layer of sea-bottom sediments at the Kara Sea (from Ob and Yenisei estuaries, Eastern-Novaya-Zemlya trough, Voronin trough, as well as Sedov bay (Novaya Zemlya)) are presented. The research results showed close tie between sedimentation rates and facial-genetic types of the sea-bottom sediments. Highest sedimentation rates are typical for the terrigenic-estuarine type. The type is divided on tractional load with sedimentation rate 0.40.7 cm per year and mud bank sediments with sedimentation rate 0.71.0 cm per year. The terrigenic-shallow-marine type is characterized by lowest sedimentation rate 0.10.3 cm per year. The background terrigenic-marine type has a broadest spectrum of the sedimentation rates: on trough slope the rates are minimal (likely to terrigenic-shallow-marine type), within central parts of the trough (as a result of gravity creep) the rates may increase up to 0.9 cm per year. Single facial-genetic type is glacial sediments of Navaya Zemlya bays. Measured recent sedimentation rate within inner depression of the Sedov bay is 0.10.2 cm per year.
