Soil characteristics, stratigraphy, and ground ice content of borehole 7304704 in the Western Fosheim Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada

To quantify the ground volumes in the Western Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island (NU, Canada), 152 boreholes were drilled to depths of 1 to 8 meters from 1972 and 1974. This borehole was drilled on 1972-08-28 with a hand-held drill near Eureka and is 1.8 m deep. The dataset describes soil stratigraphy and characteristics (soil moisture content and composition), volumetric ground ice content, and surface deposits. Soil characteristics were determined in the laboratory, and volumetric ice content was determined with a combination of visual estimates and laboratory measurements.

acknowledgement=D. Martin Barnett provided the initial encouragement to investigate ground ice by coring. Much advice was given by others during field work, especially J.J. Veillette and S.A. Edlund. Excellent field assistance was provided by R.J. Richardson in 1972; R.E. Allan, b. Feldbruegge, S. Hotzel, and L.R. Stevenson in 1973; B.G. Green, A.C. Liard and R. Young in 1974. The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada permitted access to the unpublished Eureka weather station journal in 1973. The field logs were painstakingly transcribed into an orderly body by Theresa Grasby. Result digitizing was supported by PermafrostNet Theme 1.

comments=The location of the borehole is based on GPS coordinates measured in 1972, so it should be considered approximate.

为量化加拿大努纳武特地区埃尔斯米尔岛西部福西姆半岛的地下体积，自1972年至1974年期间，共钻探152个孔，孔深介于1至8米。其中，1972年8月28日使用手持钻机在尤里卡附近钻探的该孔孔深为1.8米。本数据集描述了土壤地层学及其特性（土壤含水量和组成）、体积性地下冰含量以及地表沉积物。土壤特性在实验室中确定，体积性冰含量则通过视觉估计与实验室测量的结合确定。
