Aqueous Geochemical Data from the Analysis of Stream-Water Samples Collected in June and August 2008-Taylor Mountains 1:250,000- and Dillingham D4 1:63,360-Scale Quadrangles, Alaska

摘要

The authors report on the chemical analysis of water samples collected from the Taylor Mountains 1:250,000- and Dillingham D-4 1:63,360-scale quadrangles, Alaska. Reported parameters include pH, conductivity, water temperature, major cation and anion concentrations, and trace-element concentrations. They collected the samples as part of a multiyear U.S. Geological Survey project entitled 'Geologic and Mineral Deposit Data for Alaskan Economic Development.' Data presented here are from samples collected in June and August 2008. Minimal interpretation accompanies this data release. This is the fourth release of aqueous geochemical data from this project; data from samples collected in 2004, 2005, and 2006 were published previously. The data in this report augment but do not duplicate or supersede the previous data releases. Site selection was based on a regional sampling strategy that focused on first- and second-order drainages. Water sample sites were selected on the basis of landscape parameters that included physiography, wetland extent, lithological changes, and a cursory field review of mineralogy from pan concentrates.
