Manganese oxide coatings on gravels from 255 sites on tributary streams in the genesee river watershed were analyzed for Mn, Fe, Zn, Cd, Co, Ni, Pb and Cu. The result were compared with data on bedrock geology, surficial geology and land use, using factor analysis and stepwise multiple regression. All metals except Pb show strong positive correlatio…
