Abstract

This resource includes isotopic and water chemistry data from automated measurements and samples collected in the Howard River, Northern Territory, Australia. These data were collected with the purpose of assessing water flowpaths and carbon sources to the river, as well as their variability over time. Automated measurements include pH, temperature, pCO2 and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration in the river. Samples were collected manually from rainfall, groundwater, wetlands and the river, and subsequently analysed for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and DOC concentration, the stable isotopic signature of DIC (carbon-13), electrical conductivity, and the stable (oxygen-18 and deuterium) and radioactive (tritium) isotopes of water.

The content of this resource serves as the data for several manuscripts:
