  • Research Study on Community Experiences Related to Water, Home, and Environmental Impacts after the East Palestine Chemical Spill and Fires
Title: Research Study on Community Experiences Related to Water, Home, and Environmental Impacts after the East Palestine Chemical Spill and Fires
This dataset includes anonymized survey data collected in communities affected by the East Palestine train derailment, chemical spill, and fires. The survey was designed to capture community perceptions and experiences related to air, water, and soil sampling and testing; household and built environment impacts; and protective actions taken. Participants were eligible to participate if they were 18 years or older and lived or worked in an affected county as of February 3, 2023—the day of the derailment. The survey was open from July 20 to September 20, 2023, approximately six months after the incident. See "Notes" below for more details on the methods. The research was reviewed and approved by the Human Subjects in Research Ethics boards at the authors’ universities. This research is supported by the National Science Foundation (Award #2329409).  more » « less

    {"Abstract":["Two parallel surface-to-bedrock ice cores (DEN-13A and DEN-13B) were drilled from the Begguya summit plateau in Denali National Park, Alaska (62.93 N 151.083 W, 3912 m asl; also known as Mount Hunter), during the summer of 2013. The summit of Begguya has a high accumulation rate and low melt rate, making it an ideal site to recover intact paleoclimate records. DEN-13A and DEN-13B, which reach depths of ~210 meters, respectively, cover at least 10,000 years (Fang et al., 2023). Shallow cores were drilled in the summers of 2019 (DEN-19A; 50 meters) and 2022 (DEN-22A; 20 meters) extend the paleoclimate record at this site through 2022. Together, these four ice cores are commonly referred to as the Denali Ice Core record or the Begguya summit plateau ice core record. A robust chronology has been developed using a combination of techniques including annual layer counting, sulfate peaks (volcanics), radiocarbon dating and the 1963 atmospheric nuclear weapons testing horizon (Fang et al., 2023). Here, we report aqueous ICP-MS elemental concentrations and Pb isotope ratio data for the top ~1,200 years (800 to 2022 CE) of the Begguya summit plateau ice core record."],"Other":["Fang, L., Jenk, T.

    {"Abstract":["This data set includes chemistry of O-horizons ("forest floor") and the 0-10 cm \nmineral soil layer in Watershed 1 at Hubbard Book. Calcium in the form of wollastonite \n(CaSiO3) was added to Watershed 1 in October 1999. The application rate was 1028 kg \nCa per ha, and the application was relatively uniform across the watershed. Pre-treatment \nforest floor surveys were completed in 1996 and 1998. The first post-treatment forest \nfloor survey was completed in 2000. This data set includes mass and thickness data for \nthe sampled layers. Chemical data include concentrations and pools of organic matter, \nC, N, Ca, Mg, K, P, Mn, Fe, Al, Cu, Pb, and Zn. Soil pH and exchangeable Al, Ca, Mg, K, \nand H are also included. Sampling is intended to continue at 4 or 5 year intervals.\n These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). \nThe HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, \nwhich is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station."]}

    This data has been collected and processed as part of the MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) expedition. MOSAiC is a collaborative initiative led by the Alfred Wegener Institute and has received substantial funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, as well as the US National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, NOAA, and NASA. Numerous other international agencies and institutions have also made significant contributions. The primary objective of this program was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the evolving Arctic over the course of a year. The expedition took place from October 2019 to October 2020 and was conducted aboard the Research Vessel Ice Breaker (RVIB) Polarstern, involving participants from 20 nations. As part of this submission, we are presenting five distinct datasets. Two of these datasets are related to seawater, two pertain to meltwater, and one pertains to sea ice. The "in-situ" datasets provide information on dissolved methane concentrations and isotope ratios, while the "in-vitro" datasets offer insights into potential methane oxidation rate constants. In the case of sea ice, only "in-vitro" data was collected, as discrete measurements were obtained from another research group. These datasets are the result of the project titled "Collaborative Research: Quantifying microbial controls on the annual cycle of methane and oxygen within the ultraoligotrophic Central Arctic during MOSAiC." The aim of this study was to assess the marine methane metabolism during a one-year period in the Central Arctic Ocean. The results have provided insights into the biogeography of methane hotspots, both in terms of production and oxidation.
