Quantities Analysed:
Whole peat and <0.063 mm fraction of mineral sediment by ICP-AES after aqua regia for 20 elements and by CV-AAS for Hg.
Geochem Maps Available:
Depth profile plots show distribution of elements with increasing depth in peat deposit.
Other Analyses:
LOI; macrofossil and geochronological analysis.
