ANALYSIS OF SURFICIAL SEDIMENT FROM 63 ILLINOIS LAKES

Profile of Some Trace Elements in the Water - Surficial Sediment of Wadi El-Natrun Depresion Lakes, Egypt

Profiles of some trace elements (Fe Mn, Zn, Cu, pb and Cd) were detected in saline water and surficial sediment of Wadi El-Natrun depression lakes. The trace elements concentrations largely indicate the influence of weathering of terrigenous sources on land. The order of the studied trace elements in brine lakes of Wadi El-Natrun from high to low concentrations are Mn > Pb > Fe > Zn > Cu > Cd a...

Sediment transport by liquid surficial flow: Application to Titan

Sediment transport by surficial flow likely occurs on Titan. Titan is thought to have a volatile cycle, such as on Earth and likely in the past on Mars, which would entail surficial liquid flow. And surficial flow is implied in interpretations of Cassini–Hyugens data as showing fluvial channels, which would require sediment transport by surficial flow to form the observable features. We present...

Distribution pattern of heavy metals in the surficial sediment of Gorgan Bay (South Caspian Sea, Iran)

The Gorgan Bay is an important ecosystem receiving discharge from their tributaries. In this study, concentration of Pb, Zn, Ni, Fe, Al, Cu and As was seasonally determined at 22 sampling points during 2012-2013.Sediment samples were collected using a Van Veen grab. The levels of heavy metals were determined by ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry) and AAS (Atomic Ab...
