Mineral magnetic measurements as a pollution proxy for canal sediments (Birmingham Canal Navigation Main Line)

The use of mineral magnetic measurements (χ LF, χ ARM and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM)) as a potential particle size – pollution proxy for sediment samples collected from the Birmingham Mainline canal (UK) is explored as an alternative means of monitoring pollution.

Description
Summary:The use of mineral magnetic measurements (χ LF, χ ARM and saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM)) as a potential particle size – pollution proxy for sediment samples collected from the Birmingham Mainline canal (UK) is explored as an alternative means of monitoring pollution. Comparison of sediment-related analytical data by correlation analyses between each magnetic parameter and individual particle size classes (i.e. sand, silt and clay), and more discrete intervals within classes (e.g. fine sand or medium silt) are reported. χ LF, χ ARM and SIRM parameters reveal few significant (p
