Peat Borehole Drilling Stations for Clay Cover and CO2 Emission Analysis

A geospatial dataset of soil drilling stations used to map the clay deck over peat. The data originates from the Geotop service within the Dutch Dinoloket platform. Knowledge of the clay cover's presence and thickness indicates the degree to which underlying peat is shielded from oxidation and resulting CO2 emissions.

Use Cases

• Modeling CO2 emission potential from peat oxidation based on clay cover thickness.
• Mapping the spatial distribution of protective clay layers over peat soils.
• Assessing peatland vulnerability to degradation using borehole-derived soil data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Dutch national subsurface data platform, Dinoloket.
• Provides geospatial context for soil drilling stations via WMS and WFS service formats.
• Released under the Creative Commons Public Domain Mark 1.0 license for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
