Heavy metals (plus nutrients and carbon) in sediments of the Scheldt estuary (Belgium) (1991-94) [Zware metalen (plus nutriënten en koolstof) in sediment van het Schelde-estuarium (België) (1991-94)] Citation Contact:
Analytical, Environmental and Geochemistry (VUB-AMGC), more Availability: Restricted The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation Notes: Restrictions available at contact person Description The aims of the study are:
- to better understand the biogeochemical processes influencing the immobilization and/or remobilization of metals in the sedimentary phase
- to estimate possible fluxes of metals from the sediment to the aqueous phase more Six sites in the Scheldt estuary, chosen as a function of bottom characteristics and salinity gradient, are studied seasonally.
