Abstract

Tidal and seasonal changes in trace element concentrations have been studied in solution, suspended particulates and bottom sediments at locations in two Cornish estuaries. Results show that considerable differences in concentrations and behaviour of trace elements occur on a tidal and seasonal basis. These differences have been related to the influences of freshwater input from mineralized catchments and discussed in terms of mixing of run-off with saline waters during diurnal and annual cycles.
