  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Chemical and isotope data accumulated by two USGS Projects (led by I. Barnes and R. Mariner) over a time period of about 40 years can now be found using a &lt;a href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/basicsearch.php" data-mce-href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/basicsearch.php"&gt;basic web search&lt;/a&gt; or through an &lt;a href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/WorldKit" data-mce-href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/WorldKit"&gt;image search &lt;/a&gt;(left). The data are primarily chemical and isotopic analyses of waters (thermal, mineral, or fresh) and associated gas (free and/or dissolved) collected from hot springs, mineral springs, cold springs, geothermal wells, fumaroles, and gas seeps. Additional information is available about the &lt;a href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/info.php" data-mce-href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/info.php"&gt;collection methods and analysis procedures&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The chemical and isotope data are stored in a MySQL database and accessed using PHP from a basic search form below. Data can also be accessed using an Open Source GIS called &lt;a href="http://brainoff.com/worldkit/index.php" data-mce-href="http://brainoff.com/worldkit/index.php"&gt;WorldKit&lt;/a&gt; by clicking on the image to the left. Additional information is available about &lt;a href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/wkinfo.php" data-mce-href="http://hotspringchem.wr.usgs.gov/wkinfo.php"&gt;WorldKit including the files used&lt;/a&gt; to set up the site.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
