Distribution of trace elements in bottom sediment of the northern Bering Sea

2-dimensional contour and 3-dimensional value-surface maps of semi-quantitative emission spectographic analyses for over 50 elements in surface sediment from 180 sampling stations are presented. For purposes of discussion, certain of these elements have been grouped into the following categories: petroleum indicators, heavy metals, potentially toxic elements, chemically sensitive elements, major elements, minor elements, and a group of elements of economic interest.
