This thesis was designed to investigate the potential use of barium (Ba) concentrations as well as strontium (Sr) concentrations and Sr isotope ratios as freshwater tracers in southeastern Hudson Bay with an emphasis on the Belcher Islands. Ba concentrations ranged from 40 to 672 nM with higher conc...
