Stream Waters Geochemistry 250m North-West Ireland (G1, G3, G4) ING GRIDNEWGeological Survey of IrelandScienceStreams are important parts of our ecosystem and crucial water sources. Knowing composition of stream waters helps to understand where it came from and how it can be used. Geochemists test stream water samples using different methods to see the spread of elements and ions...

Stream Sediment Geochemistry 250m North-West (G1, G3, G4) and South-East Ireland (G2) ING GRIDNEWGeological Survey of IrelandScienceGeochemistry of streams sediments can be used to screen for rare minerals and thus help developing local resources. Knowing composition of stream sediments helps to understand what rocks were eroded by the water, where they came from and what resources they might contain....
