Regional geochemical results from the reanalysis of NURE stream sediment samples--Eagle 3 degree quadrangle, east-central Alaska

Reanalyses of NURE sediment samples in the Fortymile mining district, east-central Alaska. Provides new lower limits for some elements. Compares data from newer analytical techniques with original NURE data.

Geochemical characterization of mine waste at the Ely Copper Mine superfund site, Orange County, Vermont

An environmental impact study is done for the abandoned Ely copper mine. The extent of contamination is studyed along with the type and chemical composition of the mine waste piles.
