An investigation of lead and other metal contaminants in the sediments of Clearwater Lake, Missouri
Abstract
dc:description.abstract"The purpose of this investigation is to characterize the spatial and temporal distribution and concentration of trace metals in sediments of Clearwater Lake. Understanding how trace metals are released to and transported in aquatic environments is important to the overall understanding of the impacts of mining on the natural environment. The main focus of this research will be on historic sedimentation within Clearwater Lake, which may act as a sink where mining related trace metals are stored. Because of their high preservation rates in basins, sediments can provide detailed chronostratigraphic histories of trace metal inputs in lakes. Sediment records can thus be useful in assessing the effects of long term activities, like mining, within a watershed"--Introduction, page 2.
