“…Elements' contents are expressed as peak areas (the area integrals of the elements' characteristic peaks presented in each spectrum) that are proportional to element concentrations in the sediment. Despite the semi-quantitative nature of the Itrax data, several authors have demonstrated the ability of this kind of scanners to detect metal pollution in sediments, even at low concentrations [16,[24][25][26][27]. However, we showthe utility of the Itrax for monitoring pollutionover time and as a complementary tool to support radionuclide analyses.…”

“…At the upper slope of Buenos Aires Province, Ca in contouritic deposits would explain biogenic supports while Fe the terrigenous inputs (Voigt et al, 2013). Dealing with modern estuaries (Aveiro coastal lagoon, Portugal), the lithogenic origin was related to the content of Al, Fe, Ti, Si, Rb, Ba, K, Cl, Br, S, Mn and Zr (Martins et al, 2013). As this coast of Portugal had mining activities, the contents of Pb, Cr, V, Ni, As, Cu and W was explained by human influence before 1920.…”

“…As this coast of Portugal had mining activities, the contents of Pb, Cr, V, Ni, As, Cu and W was explained by human influence before 1920. The increase in the ratio between Si/Al was interpreted as a higher input in quartz (Martins et al, 2013).…”

“…Actually, the definition of the base of this new epoch is, somehow, still a matter of debate, since the geological/ geochemical evidence of the end of the Holocene can be interpreted in different ways (Steffen et al, 2007;Leorri et al, 2014;Irabien et al, 2015;Zalasiewicz et al, 2015;Waters et al, 2016). It is worth observing that in different coastal and marine areas the evidence goes back to pre-Industrial ages (Crutzen and Steffen, 2003;Martins et al, 2013;Leorri et al, 2014;Irabien et al, 2015).In this paper, we present a brief review of the geological imprint of the human occupation of the coast of São Paulo (Southeast Brazil), an area of a relatively recent historical occupation, caused by different economic activities, but with geological evidence of pre-Columbian settlings. The main aim of this work is to recognize when, why and how the geological records show evidence of the beginning of the Anthropocene in this coastal area.…”
