ABSTRACT:

Borehole geophysical data (natural gamma, induced electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, fluid temperature, fluid conductivity) from depths of 301.450 to 2.30 feet below top of casing of dryland critical zone well DCZN-2A, into the vadaose zone and Mesilla Bolson aquifer, below the Red Lake Playa and the Jornada Experimental Range, New Mexico. Borehole logging performed by Bill Smith (Granite Geophysical) and Christian Leach (University of Texas at El Paso). Data is in standard LAS file format. Water level present at a depth of ~70m below top of casing during measurement.

ABSTRACT:

Borehole geophysical data (natural gamma, induced electrical conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, fluid temperature, fluid conductivity) from depths of 154.700 to 0.600 feet below top of well casing of dryland critical zone well DCZN-1A, into the Rio Grande Alluvium Aquifer and the Hueco Bolson Aquifer. Borehole logging performed by Bill Smith (Granite Geophysical) and Christian Leach (University of Texas at El Paso). Data is in standard LAS file format. Water level present at a depth of 6.5-7.0 feet below top of casing during measurement.

ABSTRACT:

Falling head double ring infiltrometer test data for sites on the Jornada I and Organ surfaces from the Dryland Critical Zone's Piedmont site and from the Red Lake Playa, both in Jornada Experimental Range, New Mexico. Data were collected between September, 2021 and August, 2022 using a portable double ring infiltrometer (6" & 12" X 4" Double Infiltration Ring from AMS, Inc.). Infiltration patterns exhibited near-linear behavior almost immediately after tests began, so linear rates in units of centimeter per second are reported.
