Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemistry of Major and Trace Elements in Sediments of the Ria de Vigo (NW Spain): an Assessment of Metal Pollution ☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used PCA to define background values for metals in the Ria de Vigo area and concluded that the region is slightly to moderately polluted for some of the studied metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation rates and trace metal input history in intertidal sediments from San Simón Bay (Ría de Vigo, NW Spain) derived from 210Pb and 137Cs chronology.
TL;DR: (210)Pb and (137)Cs dating methods were applied to intertidal sediments containing both fine and coarse-grained particles and also, anthropogenic Pb in order to establish sedimentation rates and historical trends in heavy metal input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the health quality of Ria de Aveiro (Portugal): heavy metals and benthic foraminifera.

TL;DR: The influence of environmental parameters on the living benthic foraminiferal assemblages was studied and a most sensitive group of species to higher concentrations of heavy metals is identified, a widespread condition in this lagoon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollution in intertidal sediments of San Simón Bay (Inner Ria de Vigo, NW of Spain): total heavy metal concentrations and speciation
Journal ArticleDOI
Early diagenesis of magnetic minerals in marine transitional environments: geochemical signatures of hydrodynamic forcing
TL;DR: The low-field magnetic susceptibility ( χ ) of surficial sediments from the Ria de Pontevedra (NW Spain) shows a characteristic, hydrodynamically driven textural control, where diamagnetic sandy bioclastic carbonates occur toward the coastline, leaving the finer muddy sediments to be deposited in the central and deeper areas of the ria as discussed by the authors.
