Chemical analysis from two sediment cores of lake Dauriat and lake Oksana from Schefferville, subarctic Québec ...
Iron mining in Schefferville (1939-1977) in subarctic Quebec has left behind large numbers and quantities of tailing deposits. The impact of past mining activity on aquatic ecosystems in the Schefferville area has been studied using geochemical and isotopic (Pb, Zn and Fe) analyses of lake sediments...

Iron mining in Schefferville (1939-1977) in subarctic Quebec has left behind large numbers and quantities of tailing deposits.
