Title

UKGEOS Glasgow Geothermal Ground Gas, 2018 and 2019 Surveys.

Abstract

Data produced during three BGS ground gas surveys (August 2018, and May and October 2019) of up to 83 point measurements across four pre-determined locations within the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Glasgow site, located to the south of the Cuningar Loop Woodland Park. The dataset includes measurements of CH4 and CO2 flux between the ground surface and lower atmosphere, along with concentrations of CO2, O2, H2, H2S and ‘residual balance’ in near surface ground gas measured at c.70 cm below ground level. Further details about the dataset can be found in the accompanying report. http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/528737/

Quality and validity

Lineage

Ground gases were determined by positioning an 8 mm diameter steel tube in the ground to a depth of 70 cm below ground level. Samples of ground gas were pumped directly to a field instrument for analysis using a Geotechnical GA5000 landfill gas analyser (CO2, O2, H2, H2S and ‘residual balance’) or a Huberg LaserOne® methane analyser. Occasional gas samples were also collected into evacuated glass vials for laboratory analysis of d13C in CO2 to help inform the interpretation of data. Gas flux was determined by measuring the rate of flow of CO2 and CH4 into an accumulation chamber of known volume (2.8 x10-3 m3) placed at the soil surface, using a portable WEST Systems Fluxmeter®. More information is available in the accompanying report.
