Geochemistry of East River, Colorado floodplain sediments from Meander Z and Meander Y collected in 2017.
Abstract
This dataset includes sediment geochemical characterization data from floodplain sediments collected 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 role of biogeochemical cycling and other river corridor processes on riverine export of solutes. Sediment cores were collected from Meander Z (MZA, MZB) and Meander Y (MYP) just upstream of the confluence with Brush Creek in September 2017 to depths of approximately 40-95 cm in 15-20 cm intervals. Analyses include moisture content, particle size analysis, total inorganic and total organic carbon, and extractions by 1 M KCl (for adsorbed NH4), anoxic HCl (for Fe(II) content), ammonium oxalate (for amorphous Fe-oxide content), and dithionite (for crystalline Fe-oxide content). Sample locations are included in both a kmz file, which can be opened in Google Earth, and a csv file, and methods are included as a text document. All characterization data is summarized in a Microsoft Excel file, and is also included as individual .csv files for each extraction (ammonium oxalate, anoxic HCl, dithionite, and KCl) and for bulk sediment data (moisture content, particle size analysis, TIC, and TOC).
