Cole Farm (Agricultural Site)

0.65 km2,

The Cole Farm catchment (0.65km2) is located ~ 4 km southwest of the Shale Hills site, draining orthogonally to a syncline axis of the Wills Creek Formation, a calcareous shale containing interbedded siltstone, sandstone, shaly limestone, and dolomite. Even though the farm adopted no-till practices in the 1970s, the axial channel of Cole Farm flows over a thick (>2.5 m) package of sediment in the valley floor. Soils range in texture from silty clay at the ridge top to sandy loam in the valley floor.

Garner Run - Sandstone Forested

Garner Run Sandstone Forested site is situated on both sides of a segment of Garner Run, a tributary of Shavers Creek, on sandstone bedrock of slopes of Leading Ridge and Tussey Mountain in Huntingdon County, PA. (1.34km2), located ~ 3.5 km north of the Shale Hills site, is a headwater catchment with a small stream flowing parallel to a syncline fold axis of Tuscarora Formation, an erosionally resistant orthoquartzic sandstone with minor interbedded shale units. Surficial geology is largely controlled by periglacial alteration, such as slumps and solifluction lobes associated with thawing permafrost soils.

Wales, UK

7.2 °C, 2500 mm/yr

The Wales transect site is located near Llanidloes, Wales, United Kingdom. The sampling site is within the Hafren Forest at an elevation of 1352 ft. The forest is a 4,000 ha area actively logged by the Forestry Commission and used for recreation. Historical uses include copper and lead mining and sheep grazing in some parts of the watershed. The source of the River Severn, which terminates near Bristol, UK, is found at the top of the watershed, not far from Pumlumon, the highest mountain in mid-Wales. The watershed has been extensively monitored by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology for 40 years and is commonly referred to as Plynlimon. Sitka Spruce is the dominant vegetation and the underlying shale is called the Gwestyn Formation, which is equivalent to the Rose Hill Shale but has undergone some regional metamorphism. The climate is cold and very wet, with 60% of rain falling between October and March; air frost has been recorded in every month.

Juniata College PA

10 °C, 1070 mm/yr

Marcellus shale is well known as a natural gas play in the northeastern United States of America. A fracture density and geochemical study was conducted on Marcellus outcrops in central Pennsylvania to better understand physical and chemical weathering processes and relationships within the weathering profile of the Marcellus. The fracture density study served to provide quantitative data on the abundance of fractures in exposed Marcellus shale. As hypothesized, progressively higher fracture density values (FDV) were calculated closer to the soil profile. Understanding fracture densities and their associated depths can be used to explain why soil formation rates are faster. A study of this kind also has applications to natural gas extraction. The geochemical study was conducted to observe elemental depletion and movement within the soil profile. Lysimeters were installed to collect soil water in which major, trace elements, and Cu isotope compositions were measured. These concentrations and isotope ratios are important to understanding the extent of biogeochemical reactions.

Data Use Policy
Data Sharing Policy
  • Data Use Policy

    DRAFT v.0.4.0

    1. Use our data freely. All CZO Data Products* except those labelled Private** are released to the public and may be freely copied, distributed, edited, remixed, and built upon under the condition that you give acknowledgement as described below. Non-CZO data products — like those produced by USGS or NOAA — have their own use policies, which should be followed.

    2. Give proper citation and acknowledgement. Publications, models and data products that make use of these datasets must include proper citation and acknowledgement. Most importantly, provide a citation in a similar way as a journal article (i.e. author, title, year of publication, name of CZO “publisher”, edition or version, and URL or DOI access information. See http://www.datacite.org/whycitedata). Also include at least a brief acknowledgement such as: “Data were provided by the NSF-supported Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory” (replace with the appropriate observatory name).

    3. Let us know how you will use the data. The dataset creators would appreciate hearing of any plans to use the dataset. Consider consultation or collaboration with dataset creators.

    *CZO Data Products.  Defined as a data collected with any monetary or logistical support from a CZO.

    **Private. Most private data will be released to the public within 1-2 years, with some exceptionally challenging datasets up to 4 years. To inquire about potential earlier use, please contact us.

  • Data Sharing Policy

    DRAFT v.0.2.5

    All CZO investigators and collaborators who receive material or logistical support from a CZO agree to:

    1. Share data privately within 1 year. CZO investigators and collaborators agree to provide CZO Data Products* — including data files and metadata for raw, quality controlled and/or derived data — to CZO data managers within one year of collection of samples, in situ or experimental data. By default, data values will be held in a Private CZO Repository**, but metadata will be made public and will provide full attribution to the Dataset Creators†.

    2. Release data to public within 2 years. CZO Dataset Creators will be encouraged after one year to release data for public access. Dataset Creators may chose to publish or release data sooner.

    3. Request, in writing, data privacy up to 4 years. CZO PIs will review short written applications to extend data privacy beyond 2 years and up to 4 years from time of collection. Extensions beyond 3 years should not be the norm, and will be granted only for compelling cases.

    4. Consult with creators of private CZO datasets prior to use. In order to enable the collaborative vision of the CZO program, data in private CZO repositories will be available to other investigators and collaborators within that CZO. Releasing or publishing any derivative of such private data without explicit consent from the dataset creators will be considered a serious scientific ethics violation.

    * CZO Data Products. Defined as data collected with any monetary or logistical support from a CZO. Logistical support includes the use of any CZO sensors, sampling infrastructure, equipment, vehicles, or labor from a supported investigator, student or staff person. CZO Data Products can acknowledge multiple additional sources of support.

    ** Private CZO Repository. Defined as a password-protected directory on each CZO’s data server. Files will be accessible by all investigators and collaborators within the given CZO and logins will be maintained by that local CZO’s data managers. Although data values will not be accessible by the public or ingested into any central data system (i.e. CUAHSI HIS), metadata will be fully discoverable by the public. This provides the dual benefit of giving attribution and credit to dataset creators and the CZO in general, while maintaining protection of intellectual property while publications are pending.

    † Dataset Creators. Defined as the people who are responsible for designing, collecting, analyzing and providing quality assurance for a dataset. The creators of a dataset are analogous to the authors of a publication, and datasets should be cited in an analogous manner following the emerging international guidelines described at http://www.datacite.org/whycitedata.
