Regional Geochemical Surveys - RGS - Site Water - 250k

Regional stream sediment geochemical data compilation November 2020 Release notes The regional stream sediment geochemical data compilation comprises data for more than 30 000 samples across Yukon. This compilation updates the work of Héon (2003). This new compilation includes results from the reanalysis of more than 24 000 samples; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) analysis provides upgraded detection limits and a broader range of elements relative to previous analytical data. In addition to analytical data, efforts have been made to improve sample location accuracy. The data in this release are organized by analytical method with the geodatabase having six feature classes: RGS_SITE_WATER - site specific physiography and water quality data. These data are unchanged from the original releases. RGS_HEON - the same data as released in Héon (2003) with minor updates to sample location. RGS_AAS - all samples analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry. Most of these data are superseded by INAA and ICPMS data. RGS_INAA - all samples analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and fire assay-neutron activation (FA-NA) analysis. RGS_ICPMS - all samples…
