USGS Open-File Report 2012–1208: Water-Quality Data of Lakes and Wetlands in the Yukon Flats, Alaska, 2007

Water-Quality Data of Lakes and Wetlands in the Yukon Flats, Alaska, 2007–2009

By Douglas R. Halm and Nikki Guldager

Abstract

Over a three-year period (2007–2009), in-situ measurements were taken and water-quality samples were collected from 111 lakes and wetlands located in the Yukon Flats, Alaska, during a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetlands inventory. The U.S. Geological Survey performed the chemical analyses on the retrieved water-quality samples. Results from the analyses of water samples for dissolved carbon gases and carbon isotopes, hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes, dissolved organic carbon, and major cations and anions, along with supporting site data, are presented in this report.
