Geochemical composition of groundwater, surface water, permafrost porewater, and active layer porewater in samples from the Coffee gold deposit, Dawson Range, Yukon, Canada
Description: | This file contains aqueous geochemistry data for groundwater, surface water, permafrost porewater, and active layer porewater in samples collected around the Coffee gold deposit, Dawson Range, Yukon, Canada. The file also contains daily average streamflows for three hydrometric stations installed at the same field site. The data are associated with the article: “Stream metal(loid) signatures in discontinuous permafrost controlled by seasonal dynamics of groundwater discharge” by Skierszkan et al. (2023, in rev. with Water Resources Research). The data were used to investigate metal(loid) abundances and mobilization processes in water in a discontinuous permafrost region. (doi: XXXXXXX). The data consist of a compilation of analyses produced as part of baseline environmental monitoring at the proposed Coffee Gold Mine by its proponent, Newmont Corp, and supplemented with additional samples collected as part of a research project into geogenic metal(oid)s in permafrost regions led by Skierszkan et al. Additional useful references to understand the local geological and geochemical context are: Skierszkan, E. K., Dockrey, J. W., Helsen, J., Bataille, L.-L. F. C. P., de Laplante, G., McBeth, J.
