Sediment samples were collected from the river bed at 10 km intervals and have been analysed for eU, eTh, %K, 226Ra, Ca, Ti, Mn, Zn, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La and Ce. R-mode factor analysis was used to describe the relationship among 15 remotely sensed and geochemical data sets (variables) for the Gediz River. Four factors were extracted in the sediments and they account for 57.6% of the total variance in the data. These factors are interpreted as granite (felsic), economy, volcano and industry factors, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
