pb210dating: Pb-210 Dating of Sediment Cores

Dates sediment cores from lead-210 (Pb-210) activity profiles measured by alpha or gamma spectrometry, following the unified formulation and nomenclature of Sanchez-Cabeza and Ruiz-Fernandez (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.gca.2010.12.024>. Implements the Constant Flux (CF) and Constant Flux Constant Sedimentation (CFCS) dating models, together with supporting tools for data input, decay correction, missing inventory estimation, calculation of sediment and mass accumulation rates, and Monte Carlo propagation of dating uncertainties as described in Sanchez-Cabeza et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.quageo.2014.06.002>. Also provides functions to visualize activity profiles and resulting age models.
