SSHCZO -- Stream Water Chemistry -- Shale Hills -- (2006-2010)

OVERVIEW

Description/Abstract

Stream water chemistry at Susquehanna Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory from 2006-2010. Weekly to monthly grab samples were collected at three locations along the Stream: at the Headwater (SH), Middle (SM) and adjacent to the Weir (SW). Daily stream water sample were also collected adjacent to the weir from 2008-2010 using automatic samplers (2700 series, Teledyne Isco, Lincoln, NE) and were referenced as SW-ISCO.

Annual datasets have been registered with the EarthChem Library and assigned dataset DOI’s. Please reference the associated DOI for any research derived from this data.

COMMENTS

Comments

Four stream water samples were collected during each sampling event. Three samples were filtered (0.45 μm Nylon syringe filters) and analyzed for major anions, cations and DOC, while the last samples was unfiltered and analyzed for oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes. Cations and DOC samples were acidified in the laboratory with nitric and hydrochloric acids, respectively. DOC and stable isotopes samples were collected were collected in glass bottle and while major ion samples were collected in screw top Nalgene bottles.

Major cations and silica were analyzed on an inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometer (ICP– OES), while major anions were measured on the Dionex Ion Chromatograph (Sunnyvale, CA). DOC was analyzed using a Shimadzu TOC-5000A analyzer (Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, MD). Oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes were analyzed ion the DLT-100 liquid water stable analyzer (Los Gatos Research, Mountain View, CA).
