Compilation of discharge, temperature, hydrochemistry and isotope data for thermal springs in the Alps

Using Thermal Springs to Quantify Deep Groundwater Flow and Its Thermal Footprint in the Alps and a Comparison With North American Orogens

“…The data set predominantly consists of natural springs but also includes 23 springs that are tapped by wells that are less than 100 m deep. The data set is available on Pangaea (Luijendijk et al, 2020a). We consider springs thermal springs if their temperature is at least 5°C higher than the mean annual temperature of the area where the spring is located (White, 1957).…”

“…The thermal spring database has been published at Pangaea (Luijendijk et al, 2020a). Note that this database contains two data sets, one that includes deep wells and areas close to the Alps (Luijendijk et al, 2020b) and a second file that includes only the data used in this study (Luijendijk et al, 2020c).…”

Using thermal springs to quantify deep groundwater flow and its thermal footprint in the Alps and North American orogens

“…Our database contains temperature, discharge, hydrochemistry (pH, TDS, major ions, SiO2) and stable isotopes ( 18 O, 2 H) data for 394 thermal springs in the Alps, as described in more detail in supporting information S1 The dataset predominantly consists of natural springs, but also includes 32 springs that are tapped by wells that are less than 100 m deep. The dataset is available on Pangaea (Luijendijk et al, 2020).…”

“…EL and CvH acknowledge funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) project 365246344, which is part of the special priority program Mountain Building Process in Four Dimensions. The thermal spring database has been published at Pangaea (Luijendijk et al, 2020). The notebooks used for data analysis have been published at Zenodo (Luijendijk, 2020) and are also available on GitHub (https://github.com/ElcoLuijendijk/thermal_springs_alps).…”

“…In addition, a large amount of data was obtained from published literature and technical reports. The database has been published at PANGAEA (Luijendijk et al, 2020) .More details on the data sources for each spring are included in the database. The boundary of the Alps was based on published geological maps (Handy et al, 2010;Schmid et al, 2004).…”
