Title

Geochemical data from hot springs and associated bed rocks worldwide along with Mars samples and meteorites

Abstract

Concentrations of various elements along with temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, in hot spring fluids around the world. Bedrock chemistry data for Mars, in situ samples and meteorites, also included. Data from Iceland were partly generated in this study, other data are taken from the literature for comparison. Also included are literature data about associated bedrocks. Sheet 1: concentrations of dissolved elements in hot spring fluids Sheet 2: concentrations of elements in bedrock associated with hot springs Sheet 3: averages of bedrock data Sheet 4: full reference list

Lineage

For samples from Iceland, pH was measured using an Oakton EcoTestr pH 2+ Pocket pH Meter, DO was measured using a FisherBrand Traceable Portable Dissolved Oxygen Meter Pen, and temperature was measured by a VWR pH10 and ORP15 Pen. Sulfate was measured using an ion chromatograph (ICS-6000 from ThermoFisher). Trace metal concentrations were measured with an Element 2 ICP-MS (ThermoFisher) in a 2 % HNO3 matrix at an uptake rate of 0.9 mL/min. Indium at 1 mg/L concentration was added to all standards and samples as an internal standard to monitor drift. Fe(tot) was additionally measured with a UV-VIS-Spectrophotometer at 510-512 nm (Tamura et al. 1974; Peine and Peiffer 1998). Sulfide was also measured with the same instrument at 667 nm (Cline 1969; Cassella et al. 1999; Reese et al. 2011). For detailed methodology, see Galloway et al. (in review).
