British Geological Survey data details field collection of test soil gas samples and methane and ethane measurement results. The dataset was created to validate a soil gas sampling and analysis methodology within the SECURe project funded by Horizon 2020.
Use Cases
- Validate soil gas sampling methodology using methane and ethane measurement results.
- Analyze methane content measurements from samples collected with Supel Inert Foil gas sampling bags.
- Use the dataset as a reference set of analytical results for future field experimental work.
Strengths
- Data produced for formal accreditation procedure with the Polish Centre for Accreditation (PCA).
- Dataset created within the Horizon 2020-funded SECURe project, ensuring a research-grade origin.
Limitations
- Data are related to particular soil types and, beyond validation purposes, are explicitly noted as not reusable.
- Sampling sites were chosen based on high probability of measurable methane, not for general site characterization, introducing selection bias.
