Abstract The Po-Adriatic region offers an excellent case for reconstructing sediment
provenance and transport pathways of a multi-sourced sediment-routing system. Through a …

Fluid/rock interaction represents a major process in the formation of calcitic or aragonitic
travertine and tufa (CATT). In most cases, CATT is associated to limestone dissolution …

The distribution of trace metals in active stream sediments from the mineralized Lom Basin
has been evaluated. Fifty-five bottom sediments were collected and the mineralogical …

Some 434 stream sediment samples were collected in Central Japan for a nationwide
geochemical mapping project. The resulting geochemical maps are compared with …

Abstract Sediments of El-Mex Bay estuary on the southern Mediterranean Sea have been
analyzed for trace metals after sediment fractionation by sequential leaching. A sequential …

In all, 53 elements were analyzed in 1406 coastal sea sediment samples collected from an
area off Hokkaido and the Tohoku region of Japan during a nationwide marine geochemical …

Geochemical mapping of northern Honshu in the Northeast Japan Arc was carried out using
stream sediments at a sampling density of one sample per 130km2. More than 50 elements …

An elucidation of the background levels of heavy metals, including certain toxic elements, is
very essential to accomplish an important environmental assessment. A regional …

Maritime spatial planning, management of marine resources, environmental assessments
and forecasting all require good seabed maps. Similarly there is a need to support the …

Stream sediment geochemistry is extensively used in mineral exploration and environmental
studies. However, quantitative assessments of the effectiveness of stream sediment …
