Geochemical and stable isotope composition data from precipitation, runoff, snow and ice collected in Lake Peters watershed, Arctic Wildlife Refuge, Alaska

Water from multiple sources in the Lake Peters watershed, Alaska, collected between 2015 and 2018 was analyzed for stable isotopes. The data were used for a hydrologic mixing model to estimate the proportion of summer rain, winter snow, and glacier melt (combined with baseflow), which comprise the h...

Description
Summary:Water from multiple sources in the Lake Peters watershed, Alaska, collected between 2015 and 2018 was analyzed for stable isotopes. The data were used for a hydrologic mixing model to estimate the proportion of summer rain, winter snow, and glacier melt (combined with baseflow), which comprise the hydrographs of Carnivore and Chamberlin Creeks, the two main inflows to Lake Peters. In addition, the geochemistry of water from the two creeks was analyzed over two days on a multi-hourly schedule. The study is described in a MS thesis: Ellerbroek, R.A., 2018.
