Tree rings and seasonal sedimentary deposits called varves can be counted to determine absolute age.

可以对树木的被称为纹泥的季节性沉物进行计数来确定其对龄。

The variation of varve thickness may show a decrease of sediment flux during the Little Ice Age, and an increase of sediment flux after 1960s.

但纹层厚度的变化可能揭示出小冰期沉的减少上个世纪六十代之后沉的增加。
