Title: A Study of the Geochemistry of an Arctic Watershed
Authors: MacDougall, J. Douglas
Advisor: Harriss, R. C.
Department: Geology
Keywords: geochemistry, arctic, watershed, mineralogy, soil, sediments, oceans
Publication Date: Jun-1968
Abstract: <p> The clay mineralogy and elemental chemistry of soil and sediment samples from a small area of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago were examined. The importance of mineral-water reactions and the distinctive features of the geochemical cycle in polar regions are discussed. New data are presented for Hg, Au and Pd in near-shore sediments. In the case of Au and Pd the study was extended to include pelagic sediments from other oceans, and these results are discussed in an appendix.</p>
