Soil characteristics, stratigraphy, and ground ice content of borehole 73207103 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 1973-07-20 with a hand-held drill near Eureka and is 1.8 m deep. The dataset describes soil stratigraphy, volumetric ground ice content, and surface deposits. 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 The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada permitted access to the unpublished Eureka weather station journal in 1973.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，共钻探了152个孔洞，孔深在1至8米之间。其中，1973年7月20日，在一处位于尤里卡附近的位置，使用手持钻机钻了一个深1.8米的孔洞。该数据集描述了土壤地层学、体积土壤冰含量和地表沉积物。体积冰含量是通过视觉估计和实验室测量的结合方式确定的。数据集的属性包括：版本号为2，使用NetCDF格式4.7.3，HDF5版本1.10.6。感谢D. Martin Barnett最初鼓励通过钻芯研究地下冰，并在野外工作中得到J.J. Veillette和S.A. Edlund等多人的宝贵建议。1972年由R.J. Richardson提供卓越的现场协助；1973年由R.E. Allan、b. Feldbruegge、S. Hotzel和L.R. Stevenson协助；1974年由B.G. Green、A.C. Liard和R. Young提供帮助。加拿大环境部的气象环境服务允许在1973年访问未发表的尤里卡气象站日志。现场日志被Theresa Grasby仔细转录成有序的文档。数据数字化得到了PermafrostNet主题1的支持。孔洞位置基于1972年测量的GPS坐标，因此应被视为近似值。数据由Douglas A. Hodgson、F. Mark Nixon、Samuel Gagnon、Eva Thévenin、Zhaoyi Zhang、Mohammadhossein Gamshadzaei、Elisabeth Hardy-Lachance和Khatereh Roghangar等人提供。数据遵循CF-1.6和ACDD-1.3规范。孔洞位于罗慕路斯井场附近。该孔洞的地表覆盖类型未知，地表地质类型为坡积。时间范围为1973年7月20日，数据获取自报告《从西北地区埃尔斯米尔岛西部福西姆半岛浅层孔洞中确定的地下冰体积》（1998年）。数据来源于本地文件。
