The Great Lakes Sediment Bank - 1 : including catalogs of Lakes Huron and Ontario samples / by R.A. Bourbonniere, B.L. VanSickle and T. Mayer.: En13-5/86-151E-PDF

"A bank of Great Lakes sediment samples has been established by the National Water Research Institute. The Great Lakes Sediment Bank contains sediment from four of the Great Lakes - Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior. The Sediment Bank serves as a source of baseline material from which to reference future contamination problems, and as an aid to understanding trends in contaminant loadings. This first report contains the results of sediment preservation studies, protocols for obtaining samples from the bank, brief literature reviews of past work related to Lake Huron and Lake Ontario sediments, catalogs of samples collected from these two lakes in 1980 and 1981, and bulk data obtained from those samples"--Management perspective.
