Wellington, New ZealandauthorDepartment of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Lower Hutt, New ZealandpublisherdocumentHardcopyNew Zealand Soil Bureau Scientific Report5362 pp.0304-1735A total of 315 sediment samples from the SW Pacific region, consisting of 180 surface or near-surface sediments from the SW Pacific, 64 samples from SW Pacific holes of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and 71 samples from the Ross Sea, have been analysed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for 14 trace elements. This follows the analysis of these samples for major elements previously reported (Glasby et al. 1979). A series of maps showing element distribution in the SW Pacific has been prepared and the data have been subjected to statistical analysis.completedGeochemistry of rocks, soils, and sedimentsOceanographyAustralasiachemical compositioncluster analysisgeochemistrymarine sedimentsNew ZealandoceanographyPacific OceansedimentsSouth PacificSouthwest Pacificstatistical analysistrace elementsWest PacificEnglishgeoscientificInformation166.3000178.3000-47.3000-34.3000New Zealand
