Core samples from the Floridan Aquifer were collected, prepared as slabs, and examined for lithology. The dataset was compiled by CEOS_EXTRA and last updated in April 2001. The specific volume of samples and number of observations are not documented.
Use Cases
- Classify lithology types from slab preparation and examination records.
- Map the spatial distribution of geological materials using core sample locations.
- Analyze the relationship between lithologic features and aquifer properties.
Strengths
- Data is focused on a specific, critical aquifer system in the southeastern United States.
- The work followed a structured multi-phase methodology: collection, slab preparation, lithologic examination, and reporting.
Limitations
- The dataset is over 20 years old, limiting its relevance for current dynamic groundwater studies.
- Key quantitative details like the number of core samples, rows of data, and file size are unknown.
Provenance
- Source
- CEOS_EXTRA, accessed via NASA Earthdata.
- Collection Method
- Collection and lithologic examination of existing core samples, followed by slab preparation.
