Distribution and enrichment of trace metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in bottom sediments of Navigation Pools 4 (Lake Pepin), 5, and 9 of the Upper Mississippi River:
Sampling Purpose: This study was designed through the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse to determine whether trace metals were settling out and accumulating in Lake Pepin bottom sediments. Bed sediment samples (grab and core) were collected at several locations in the Upper Mississippi River (Pools 4, 5, and 9) and analyzed for volatile matter content and metals. Sample coordinates were approximated in ArcView using detailed map descriptions.
