Abstract Water column and stream measurements of eight trace metals are presented for the Lake Hoare system. With the exception of Cd, metals showed little tendency to accumulate in the upper reservoir (〉 24 m) of this closed-basin lake. Residence time trends for trace and major elements in this system were comparable to those in the oceans. It is concluded that particle reactive elements will behave in a similar manner from one closed aquatic system to another, and will tend to undergo rapid removal in comparison with the major elements. Of the eight metals studied, the adjacent transition series elements Mn, Fe, and Co had the shortest residence times.
