Breccia complex The main representative of this type is Olympic Dam deposit in South Australia. Deposits in Zambia, Zaire, and Aillik group in Labrador, Canada, may also belong to this group.

The RGB composite of the coefficients of determination of the individual linear correlation coefficients (Figure 2.26) shows that for the northern hemisphere high correlations of volatilisation rate and wind speed in the Atlantic Ocean can be found in the Gulf Stream and low values in the Labrador Sea and the adjacent Davis Strait. High correlations with the sea surface temperature are located near 45 °N close to the eastern coast of the American continent, in the Baltic Sea, North Sea and in... 

PFOA observations To evaluate MPI-MCTM model results observational data of PFOA from ship cruises in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans were taken from literature (summarised in Yamashita et al (2008)). The data was collected between 2002 and 2006 in a global ocean monitoring initiative. Samples were taken from ocean surface water. Vertical profiles were sampled in the Labrador sea, the Mid Atlantic ocean, the South Pacific ocean and the Japanese sea, where water probes were done at several depths down to 5500 m. The limit of quantification for PFOA was determined as 6 pg/L. 

Vertical profiles from different ocean regions differ significantly from each other. In the Labrador Sea (Figure 3.16a) PFOA concentrations are 50 pg/L at the surface for both model results and observations. For AOl and A02 modelled profiles are almost identical, while observed profiles behave differently. Concentrations in water sample at AOl are relatively constant throughout depth, except for subsurface water, where PFOA concentration decreases, and water below 2000 m in which concentrations increase. Modelled concentrations, as well as observed ones at A02, decrease until 500 m, and remain constant down to 2000 m. In waters below 2000 m PFOA concentration increases for observations, but decreases in the model results. Yamashita et al (2008) suggest that water masses from the surface down to 2000 m were well mixed due their convective formation. The subsurface is explained...

The regional-based survey pattern of the GSC-determined Hg concentrations (ppb) in stream sediments across Canada is shown in Fig.1. Of particular interest are (i) the high Hg concentration cluster near the central north-eastern border of the Yukon Territory (Survey Zone 3), (ii) the somewhat elevated background levels in the southern portions of the Canadian Shield along the Great Lakes, (iii) the scattered pattern of similar values throughout British Columbia, Labrador and...

In our initial use of VIRS methods, we have chosen a diverse set of projects. These include epithermal-style precious metal mineralization (eastern and central Newfoundland), mesothermal gold mineralization (Central Newfoundland), syngenetic VMS mineralization and related alteration (Central Newfoundland), porphyry-style Mo-Cu mineralization (southern Newfoundland) and uranium mineralization in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador. Space does not permit detailed discussion of results, but in all cases we were able to recognize distinctive alteration species and document their distribution. In some cases, results provided surprises, eg., the recognition of topaz in quartz-alunite alteration and possible Li-rich micas in VMS alteration influenced by magmatic fluids. In some cases, the resolution of species in mixed assemblages proved to be difficult, but the overall spectral patterns could still be used to discriminate alteration facies and demonstrate their superposition.
