Targeting Cu–Au and Mo resources using multi-media exploration geochemistry: An example from Tyonek Quadrangle, Alaska Range, Alaska

Spatial and temporal distribution of Au and other trace elements in an estuary using the diffusive gradients in thin films technique and grab sampling

“…Understanding the mobility and fate of naturally or anthropogenically sourced trace metals in surface waterseither as contaminants, nutrients or otherwise -is important for a range of environmental applications, including environmental monitoring of rivers (Pestana et al, 1997;Gerritse et al, 1998), predicting the persistence and fate of contaminants (Rate et al, 2000;Balistrieri and Blank, 2008), and geochemical exploration (McHugh, 1988;Benedetti and Boulëgue, 1991;Graham et al, 2015). Investigating controls on metal mobility may also assist understanding of processes occurring on longer time-scales, and, when combined with metal records in sediments, can provide insights into the history of a catchment (Gerritse et al, 1998;Dill, 2008).…”
