Summary

This dataset contains monthly measurements of major and trace elements from 41 rivers around Great Britain. The samples were collected as part of the Land Ocean Carbon TransfEr (LOCATE) project during 2017 and they were analysed using Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). LOCATE was a multi-disciplinary NERC project that undertook coordinated sampling of the major rivers in Great Britain to establish how much carbon from soils is getting into rivers and estuaries and to determine what is happening to it. It involved the National Oceanography Centre, the British Geological Survey, the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, with assistance from the University of Lancaster, University of Durham, University of Hull, the University of the Highlands and Islands and the Environment Agency.
