The latest news and obtaining geochemical analyses

New tools are now available to facilitate data access for SIGEOM clients.

Get rapid access to new secondary environment sediment analyses by using E-sigeom à la carte.

Predefined queries under the “New Releases” option now allow the user to obtain analytical results for sediment samples collected during new surveys or those involved in recent re-analysis programs.

Two new databases of secondary environment geochemical data are currently offered. The first includes the results of a lake sediment survey covering almost all the Manicouagan RMC. The second represents the results of the re-analysis of a series of lake sediment and stream sediment samples that were taken from the Baie James region.

Geochemical data presented in easy-to-read tables

Two utilities are available to transfer the geochemical data from SIGEOM into a table format that is easy to read. The “TranspoLithSIG” module deals with rock analyses, and the “TranspoSedSIG” module processes sediment analyses from the secondary environment.

The “TranspoLithSIG” and “TranspoSedSIG” modules are available in Access 97 or Access 2000 formats. To obtain them, please contact:
