Quantification of Clastic Lake Sediments, Labrador, 2014



Project Description

A database of geochemical analyses of more than 18,000 lake-sediment samples, collected in Labrador in 1977 and 1978, and from 1982 to 1985, as part of the National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) program of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) was used to help understand regional geochemical patterns and the relationships between individual elements.

Regression analysis was used to remove the clastic contribution from the lake sediments’ composition thereby highlighting local areas of enrichment and depletion.

The study is published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File LAB/1625.
