摘要
A comparison of results from two methods (loss on ignition and wet oxidation) for estimating organic content of sediments shows close correspondence in values over a range of organic contents. For this case study of samples from the Sunwapta Pass area, loss on ignition provides a reasonable estimate of organic content.
