The data are associated with the article: "Seasonal controls on stream metal(loid) signatures in mountainous discontinuous permafrost" by
Skierszkan,E.K.,Carey, S.K., Jackson, S.I., Fellwock, M., Fraser, C. & Lindsay, M.B.J. (2023). Seasonal controls on stream metal(loid) signatures in mountainous discontinuous permafrost, Science of The Total Environment, 908(167999). DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167999.
The data were used to investigate metal(loid) abundances and mobilization processes in water in a discontinuous permafrost region.

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.
