This data set describes geochemical samples collected from 25 rivers and 11 lakes throughout the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). CAA rivers were sampled as part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago Rivers Program (CAA-RP) and the Canadian Arctic GEOTRACES program with access via land, water, and air during the summer seasons of August 1-September 9, 2014, and August 11-19, 2015. Time series observations were also collected from the Coppermine River in Kugluktuk, Nunavut (NU) (year-round; August 5, 2014 to August 23, 2016), and from Freshwater Creek in Cambridge Bay, NU (open water only; June 19, 2014 to September 16, 2016). Lake samples were collected opportunistically during float plane air-surveys in 2014 and 2015 as part of the CAA-RP study in the southern CAA. Precipitation was collected during two significant rain events in Kugluktuk, NU (August 25, 2015) and Cambridge Bay, NU (August 20, 2016). River water samples were collected according to methods developed by the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory ...
