Geochemical Atlas of Stream sediment samples North Greenland

The Atlas samples of N Greenland package are described in Thrane et al 2011. This package builds on samples collected over a period from 1978 to 1999, holding old and newly acquired data. Some of the old samples have been reanalysed and together they have been quality controlled and compared. There are 2,644 unique samples in this package (65 of these samples are located under Soil samples). The geochemical analyses that are presented are above detection limit and readings below have been filtered out.

Sampling

The sampling density is not consistent throughout the covered area, and varies from 1 sample per 30 to 50 km2 to scarce and irregular in other areas. The regional geochemical surveys undertaken in North Greenland, follows the procedure for stream sediment sampling in Steenfelt, 1999. Thrane et al 2011, give more information sampling campaigns in the area. The sample consists of 500 g sediment collected from stream bed and banks into paper bags. In the filed the samples were dried and sent to Copenhagen for further drying and screening. Analyses was made on a split fraction < 0.1 mm size fraction.
