Survey Description
In 2008 geochemical sampling was carried out along the southern shore of the Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland.
In total, 373 samples weighing ~1 kg were collected. Most samples were from the C- or BC- soil horizon, taken from pits about 0.5 m in depth or from quarries or roadcuts at about 0.5 to 1.0 m in depth. Sample density was approximately 1 smaple per 1 km 2.
A summary of the work is published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Current Research 2009.
