Summary

Boreholes were drilled in 2017 and 2018 in Redwell Basin, a headwater catchment underlain by hydrothermally altered sedimentary rock in the Elk Mountains near the town of Crested Butte, Colorado. Two boreholes were completed as vertically discrete nested monitoring wells (MW1 as MW1A-MW1D and MW2.1 as MW2.1A-MW2.1C) and one borehole was completed as a single monitoring well (MW2 as RP8). Site locations and well construction are documented under the main page of this data release. Absolute (non-vented) pressure and temperature data loggers (PTDs) were deployed in these wells to monitor groundwater levels and fluid temperature over time. The period of record covers August 2018-September 2019 for all wells; the period of record for MW1D [...]

Purpose

The lack of high-elevation groundwater wells limits our understanding of the deeper (greater than 10s of meters) hydrogeology and geochemistry of mountain headwater catchments. These data were collected to provide direct observations of bedrock geologic and hydrologic conditions in a high-elevation headwater catchment and to advance our understanding of the role of bedrock groundwater in metal and nutrient fluxes to near surface environments.
