Abstract

Estuaries are areas of complex investigations representing environments in constant evolutionary process, constituting the means of interaction between sea, rivers and anthropic activities. In these regions, the abundance, distribution and speciation of chemical elements (metals and non-metals) in the sediments can be affected by hydrodynamic processes related to variations in lithology, topography, vegetation, rainfall, river flows, input of tidal currents during flood and ebb and/or tidal cycles, among others. The main objective of this research was to understand the processes that control the variability of the chemical elements in cores along the Potengi river estuary, including the possible contribution of anthropogenic sources....
