Major and trace element analyses of eleven grain-size fractions of river sediments from northern Chilean Patagonia

Major elements and zirconium concentrations of eleven grain-size fractions of sediments from six rivers in Chilean Patagonia. All subsamples were measured by ICP-AES after fusion technique. Data was used for investigating the relations between grain size and sediment geochemistry, further developing a method to predict sediment grain size from geochemistry. This work was funded by the National Geographic Society Committee for Research and Exploration (8379-07), FWO research credit (1.5.104.11.N), and UGent BOF HYDROPROX project (01N02216).

智利巴塔哥尼亚地区六条河流沉积物的11个粒级组分的主量元素与锆元素含量数据集。所有子样品经熔融制样后，采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法（ICP-AES）完成测定。该数据集被用于探究沉积物粒级与沉积地球化学之间的关联，并进一步开发了一种基于地球化学特征预测沉积物粒级的方法。本研究由美国国家地理学会研究与探索委员会（8379-07）、弗拉芒科学研究基金会（FWO，1.5.104.11.N）以及根特大学BOF HYDROPROX项目（01N02216）资助。
