Development of a solenoid pumped in situ zinc analyzer for environmental monitoring Development of a solenoid pumped in situ zinc analyzer for environmental monitoring
A battery powered submersible chemical analyzer, the Zn-DigiScan (Zn Digital Submersible Chemical Analyzer), has been developed for near real-time, in situ monitoring of zinc in aquatic systems. Microprocessor controlled solenoid pumps propel sample and carrier through an anion exchange column to separate zinc from interferences, add colorimetric reagents, and propel the reaction complex...

Geochemistry of surface-waters in mineralized and non-mineralized areas of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands Geochemistry of surface-waters in mineralized and non-mineralized areas of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) are continuing investigations on element mobility in mineralized and non-mineralized areas of the Yukon-Tanana Upland in east-central Alaska. The chemistry of stream water is evaluated in the context of regional bedrock geology and geologic structure. Sampling sites were located in the Big Delta B2...

Engelmann Spruce (Picea engelmannii) as a biological monitor of changes in soil metal loading related to past mining activity Engelmann Spruce (Picea engelmannii) as a biological monitor of changes in soil metal loading related to past mining activity
Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) is the dominant tree species in many abandoned mine areas of the Rocky Mountains. It is long-lived, and therefore, may act as a long term biological monitor of changes in soil chemistry caused by past mining activity. In this study, laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) was used to analyze individual tree rings of Engelmann...
