Brice, Camille; Montero-Serrano, Jean-Carlos; St-Louis, Richard; Rosabal, Maikel: Properties of surface coastal sediments from Canadian Arctic communities [dataset bundled publication]. PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.992875 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
Metal contamination was studied in the coastal environments near six communities in the Canadian Arctic. Sediment samples were collected in the summers of 2022 and 2023 near the communities of Tuktoyaktuk, Kugluktuk, Resolute, Grise Fiord, Pond Inlet and Qikiqtarjuaq, as well as in Milne Inlet, where the Mary River Mine is located. Approximately the first 5 cm of sediments were sampled using a Petite Ponar grab deployed manually. Coastal surface sediments were analyzed for grain size and concentrations of major and trace elements. Total metal concentrations were determined using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence. Selected samples were partially acid-digested and analyzed using mass spectrometry to quantify the acid-extractable concentrations.
