Abstract

The purpose of this dataset is to maintain a record of the shale drilling field notes, lithologic descriptions, and core photographs taken at the PLM5 (Pumphouse Lower Montane Borehole #5), PLM8 (Pumphouse Lower Montane Borehole #8), GUM1 (Gothic Upper Montane Borehole #1), and GLS1 (GLS1 = Gothic Lower Subalpine Borehole #1) wells at the East River Watershed, Colorado during October 2018 through November 2019. The wells were created as part of data collection for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WF SFA). This dataset consists of (1) detailed field notes and metadata (well locations, elevations, completion depths, and pressure transducer deployments) associated with drilling and coring activities accompanying the 2018 and 2019 installations of wells PLM5, PLM8, GUM1, and GLS1 and (2) high resolution photographs (*.png format) of all shale core recovered during the installations. Core photographs are labeled with location- and depth-specific names (e.g. PLM5_134-144ft), with the prefix (e.g. PLM5) indicating the well location and the suffix (e.g. 134-144ft) indicating the depth below ground surface of the recovered core. With the exception of core collected from well PLM5 from depths 0-59 feet, which were photographed by Tetsu Tokunaga in Berkeley, CA, all core was photographedmore »« less

Sulfur x-ray absorption spectroscopy data from bedrock shale, soil, and floodplain sediment from the East River, Colorado watershed

Dataset Fox, Patricia ; Carrero, Sergio ; Anderson, Cam ; ...

This dataset includes sulfur x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) data collected on solid samples as a part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The data were collected in order to investigate the speciation of sulfur and degree of shale weathering in solid samples across the watershed and their impact on riverine export of sulfate. Solid samples, including shale, hillslope soil, and floodplain sediment samples collected in 2016-2018, were analyzed by bulk XANES. Density fractions of hillslope soil, including a light fraction representing particulate organic matter and a heavy fraction representingmore »« less
