Description:

Abstract:

This GIS layer contains a point overlay showing the location of surficial samples used in the analysis of metal distributions in LIS. Attribute information containing the chemical analysis values are also included in the data layer.

Purpose:

The purpose of this datalayer is to disseminate a digital version of the map showing the locations of surficial samples used in the analysis of metal distributions in LIS.

samples were analyzed in the laboratory to calculate metals contents

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Samples were frozen in the field, and freeze dried in the laboratory. Freeze-dried samples were divided for various analyses. The metals data were generated on an ICP-AES at Boston University after total acid disestion. Data (consisting of the sample station navigation in decimal degrees and metals concentrations) were imported as a text file.
