Sediment chemistry data from sediment traps deployed in the San Juan River watershed, Four Corners USA, 2021-2022, 60 element results

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

Sediment traps were deployed in tributaries to the San Juan River during 2021 and 2022. These traps collected sediment during storm events that typically occur as monsoonal convective storms from June to September. Because of the rural nature of the watershed, sediment traps were collected every 3 weeks so the sediment collected is a composite of that time period. The date listed is the date the trap was collected. This dataset includes the chemical concentrations of the sediment samples. Major ions are reported in weight percentage, while all other elements are reported in parts per million. Samples were fused at 750°C with sodium peroxide and the fusion cake dissolved in a dilute nitric acid. The resulting solution was analyzed by ICP-OES and ICP-MS. This method was done to include all of the rare earth elements. Results from this method may differ slightly from the results in the 49-element analysis because of the differences in digestion procedure. The 60 element dataset includes aluminum, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, sulfur, silicon, titanium, silver, arsenic, boron, barium, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, cerium, cobalt, chromium, cesium, copper, dysprosium, erbium, europium, gallium, gadolinium, germanium, hafnium, holmium, indium, lanthanum, lithium, lutetium, manganese, molybdenum, niobium, neodymium, nickel, lead, praseodymium, rubidium, antimony, scandium, selenium, samarium, tin, strontium, tantalum, terbium, tellurium, thorium, thallium, thulium, uranium, vanadium, tungsten, yttrium, ytterbium, zinc, and zircon.
