Quarterly samples from June 2017 to June 2019 provide dissolved lead (Pb) concentrations and isotope ratios from estuarine waters in Galveston Bay, Texas. The dataset was contributed by author Kim, Yerim and harvested by the Texas Data Repository. It is hosted on the Dataverse platform.
Use Cases
- Trace lead pollution sources in Galveston Bay based on isotope ratio data.
- Analyze seasonal or temporal trends in estuarine lead concentrations based on quarterly sampling.
- Model lead transport and fate in coastal environments based on concentration data from an estuary.
- Assess environmental health risks associated with dissolved lead levels in a bay system.
Strengths
- Quarterly sampling provides a defined time series from June 2017 to June 2019.
- Includes both concentration and isotope ratio data for lead, which can aid in source identification.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
