Download or read book Micro XRF Studies of Sediment Cores written by Ian W. Croudace and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents papers on the use of micro-XRF core scanners in palaeoenvironmental research. It contains a broad ranging view of instrument capability and points to future developments that will help contribute to higher precision elemental data and faster core analysis. Readers will find a diverse range of research by leading experts that have used micro-XRF core scanners in a wide range of scientific applications. The book includes specific application papers reporting on the use of XRF core scanners in a variety of marine, lacustrine, and pollution studies. In addition, coverage also examines practical aspects of core scanner usage, data optimisation and data calibration and interpretation. In a little over a decade, micro-XRF sediment core scanners have made a substantive contribution to palaeoenvironmental research. Their impact is based on their ability to rapidly, non-destructively and automatically scan sediment cores. Not only do they rapidly provide important proxy data without damaging samples, but they can obtain environmental data at decadal, annual and even sub-annual scales. This volume will help both experienced and new users of these non-destructive core scanners take full advantage of one of the most powerful geochemical screening tools in the environmental scientist's toolbox.
Download or read book Rapid Evaluation of Sediment Budgets written by Leslie M. Reid and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many land-management decisions would be aided by an understanding of the current sediment production and transport regime in a watershed and of the likely effects of planned land use on that regime. Sediment budgeting can provide this information quickly and at low cost if reconnaissance techniques are used to evaluate the budget. Efficient budget construction incorporates seven steps: careful definition of the problem to be addressed; collection of background information; subdivision of the project area into uniform sub-areas; interpretation of aerial photographs; fieldwork; analysis; and checking of results. Methods used in field-work and analysis must be selected according to the types of hillslope and channel processes active, the goals of the analysis, and the level of precision required. Methods for evaluating erosion and sediment transport rates are described, and four examples are given to demonstrate budget applications and construction.
Download or read book The Use of Field Screening Or Rapid Sediment Characterization RSC Tools for Sediment Assessments written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goals of a sampling and analysis plan for an Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) or a sediment site assessment are to identify potential contaminant sources and to delineate areas of concern. However, traditional sampling and analysis approaches do not always provide the information necessary to support the decision-making process in a cost- and time-effective manner. Site assessments performed in the marine environment are often hindered due to the complexity and heterogeneity of marine ecosystems. Because of the complex nature of marine ecosystems, U.S. Navy policy specifically requires that sampling programs focus primarily on the identification of potential contaminant sources and on the delineation of areas of contaminated media. Navy policy further dictates that sampling programs should make use of advanced chemical and biological screening technologies, data quality objectives, and statistical procedures to minimize overall sampling requirements. Implementation of advanced chemical, physical, and/or biological screening technologies (i.e., rapid sediment characterization (RSC) tools) at different stages of the ERA process can aid in focusing sampling requirements and can ultimately facilitate reaching final decisions. This paper discusses several RSC technologies that can be used at marine sediment sites, including X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for metals; ultraviolet fluorescence spectroscopy (UVF) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); QwikSed bioassay for assessing toxicity; immunoassays for detecting PAHs, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and laser particle scattering. Examples are provided to illustrate the efficacy of applying RSC tools to different stages of the ERA process. Finally, recommendations are given for the evaluation, selection, and application of RSC tools for the ERA process.

Download or read book Sediment Toxicity Assessment written by G.Allen Burton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediment Toxicity Assessment provides the latest information regarding how to evaluate sediment contamination and its effects on aquatic ecosystems. It presents an integrated ecosystem approach by detailing effective assessment methods, considerations, and effects to each major component of marine and freshwater systems, including the benthos, plankton, and fish communities. The approaches emphasize defining habitat conditions (physical and chemical), toxicant bioavailability, factors influencing toxicity (lab and field), biomarkers, acute and chronic toxicity, study design, collection methods, and EPA management strategies. The book also explains how to integrate the assessments. Sediment Toxicity Assessment will be useful to to all environmental managers, environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, environmental regulators, aquatic ecologists, environmental contractors and consultants, instructors, students, conservation commissions, and environmental activist organizations.
