Tellus Geochemistry — topsoil

Description

The latest topsoils data from the Tellus project, managed by the Geological Survey Ireland.
The topsoil (c.5–20 cm deep) samples were analysed for: Analytical Method: ICP(-OES/-MS) following aqua regia digestion; soil loss-on-ignition at 450 °C
The survey was conducted on foot; samples were collected approx. every 4 sq km from. For more information please visit tellus.ie.
The following elements were analysed: Aluminium, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, caesium, Calcium, Cerium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Gallium, Germanium, Hafnium, indium, Iron, Lanthanum, Lead, Lithium, Loss-on-ignition, Lutetium, Magnesium, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Niobium, pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, Rubidium, scandium, Selenium, Silver, Sodium, Strontium, Sulphur, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium, Thallium, Thorium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Uranium, vanadium, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zinc, Zinc, Zirconium (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S, S, Sr, Ti, V, Zn, Zr, Ag, Be, Be, Bi, Cd, Ce, Co, Cs, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, La, Lu, P, Mo, Mo, Pb, Rb, Sb, Sb, Sb, Sn, Sn, Tb, Te, Th, Tl, U, W, Yb)
The current coverage includes:
