Summary:
The objective of this research project is to understand how metals might be weathering from rocks, and to understand where they end up and in which chemical form (the speciation). The importance is to differentiate between the metal species that weather from the rocks, the species by which they are transported, and finally, the species by which they are deposited again, if they are in fact deposit...

Summary:
In project area creeks & streams, fish presence/absence and/ or densities will be obtained by electrofishing representative habitat & the setting of baited minnow traps. Each fish caught will be identified, measured, weighed & sexed, & condition will be noted. Furthermore, in order to assess background tissue metal levels, ten specimens of each species must be sacrificed in order to obtain the req...
