North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project

North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project... 

Preliminary results of the North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project, northeast United States and Maritime Provinces of Canada... 

Initial results of the North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes project (NASGLP) are presented from the Northeast United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York) and the Maritime provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island). 

In 2002, the North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes Project, a trinational initiative among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, was initiated with the goals to (1) develop a continental-scale framework for generating soil geochemical data and (2) provide soil geochemical data that are useful for a wide range of applications and disciplines.
