Mineralogical and geochemical variation in stream sediments impacted by acid mine drainage is related to hydro-geomorphic setting

Acid mine drainage (AMD) discharge has severe, long lasting impacts on water quality and stream ecology in affected watersheds due in part to the dynamic relationship between toxic metals (e.g. Al, Mn, and Cu) and Fe(III) oxy-hydroxides. Localized areas of biogeochemical activity that can mediate mi...
