Table 2 Porewater trace- and major-elements extracted from Seaplane Lagoon core SC4 (July 10, 1998). Calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, and silica were measured by ICP-AES. Aluminium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc were measured by ICP-MS. Uncertainty for potassium was not reported
