Chemical and physical data for sediment source fingerprinting of suspended and bottom sediment in the West Fork of Beaver Creek, Minnesota

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2023-02-23T00:00:00Z
This data release includes physical and chemical data for samples from suspended and bottom sediments of streams in Minnesota. Data were collected in September 2011 and April 2012. These data include total nitrogen and carbon, organic carbon, concentrations for 39 metals, and particle-size analysis. Source samples were grouped into one of three land-use categories: channel (Mid-bank,Low-bank), cropland (corn, sugar beets, soybeans, bare field), or road. These data were used for source attribution in order to quantify the proportional contribution of individual sources to suspend sediment in the basin.
