Hydrothermal Geochemical Water-Rock Interaction Experiments

Hydrothermal geochemical experimental data from a series of water/rock and water/mineral interaction experiments conducted at various temperatures and pressures. The data includes analytical results and kinetic information for a range of minerals, compiled by the British Geological Survey. Original records are held in paper format with digital versions in Excel spreadsheets and an Access database.

Use Cases

• Model mineral dissolution kinetics using kinetic energy data from the Access database for a range of minerals
• Analyze experimental outcomes by correlating analytical results with the recorded temperatures and pressures of each run
• Compile a reference dataset on hydrothermal deposits from the Hypercard and End Note collections

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS)
• Covers a range of experimental conditions including various temperatures and pressures
• Includes multiple data types: analytical results, kinetic information, and reference datasets

Limitations

• Primary data scale is unknown, with no row count or sample size provided
• Data is fragmented across multiple legacy formats (Excel, Access, Hypercard, End Note, paper)
• Potential for data entry inconsistencies or gaps due to manual record-keeping on paper
