2022-2023 data from carbon and oxygen stable isotope analysis of calcite in samples from two field locations, Warton and Glengarnock. The dataset contains raw and processed measurements collected to identify if carbonate minerals contain atmospheric carbon dioxide. Data was collected by John MacDonald and Charlotte Slaymark of the University of Glasgow and is held by the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Identify sources of carbon in carbonate minerals based on stable isotope ratios.
- Assess carbon sequestration potential in slag banks based on isotopic signatures.
- Compare geochemical processes between the Warton and Glengarnock field sites.
- Validate models of atmospheric CO2 incorporation into industrial waste materials.
Strengths
- Data covers two distinct field locations, enabling comparative analysis.
- Includes both raw and processed stable isotope measurements.
- Collection period is clearly defined as 2022-2023.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the two specific UK sites.
