Map(s) of Loss on Ignition (calculated by subtracting from 100% the sum of Total major oxides and elements; verified by gravimetry at 1100 degrees C for subset of ~10% of samples) in Top Outlet Sediment (TOS) and/or Bottom Outlet Sediment (BOS) samples, dry-sieved to <2 mm and/or <75 um grain size fractions.
