Table 4 Porewater water chemistry from Seaplane Lagoon, Alameda NAS compared with sulfide, carbonate, phosphate, silicate, oxide, and hydroxide minerals reported as the saturation index at 25°C (log SI). Calculations used trace and major elements; sulfide and sulfate are from core SC4 and total inorganic carbon is from core SC2
