TitleSusquehanna Shale Hills CZO - SSHCZO and Shavers Creek Surface and Groundwater Chemistry
Date2026
AbstractSurface and groundwater were collected fromthe SSHCZO and from the surrounding Shaver Creek watershed in October 2014 by students enrolled in Hydrogeochemistry at Kent State University. The motivation for this data collection was to evaluate the spatial variability of inputs from hillslope soils to the SSHCZO stream from soils; however, dry conditions precluded soil water collection and efforts shifted to evaluating water chemistry in the larger Shaver Creek watershed. The stream at Shale Hills was not flowing during sample collection; samples were obtained from stagnant pools of water. This file contains information for collected water samples, including location data and geochemical data (pH, specific conductance, concentrations of anions and cations).
