Survey Description 732 peat and 47 mineral sediment samples were collected between 1994 and 1997 in the Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories. The samples were collected by surface sampling and coring 14 peatland sites. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 4007. Data Description: 1 CD-ROM (MS-Excel and PDF). Quantities Analysed: Peat by ICP-AES after aqua regia for 19 elements; by CV-AAS for Hg; and by INAA for 24 elements; selected peat samples by ICP-MS and other methods after a 5-step sequential extraction; <0.063 mm fraction of mineral sediments by ICP-AES after aqua regia for 19 elements. Geochem Plots Available: Depth profile plots show distribution of elements with increasing depth in peat deposit. Other Analyses: LOI; macrofossil and geochronological analysis. |
