Resource Abstract:
description: This dataset (located by latitude and longitude) is a subset of the geochemical dataset found in Chap. E, Appendix 2, Disc 1, and used in this study of the Lower Kittanning coal bed. That dataset is a compilation of data from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) USCHEM (U.S. geoCHEMical), The Pennsylvania State University (PSU), the West Virginia Economic and Geological Survey (WVGES), and the Ohio Division of Geological Survey (OHGS) coal quality databases as well as published U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) data. The metadata file for the complete dataset is found in Chap. E, Appendix 3, Disc 1 (please see it for more detailed information on this geochemical dataset). This subset of the geochemical data for the Lower Kittanning coal bed includes ash yield, sulfur content, SO2 value, gross calorific value, arsenic content and mercury content for these records, as well as the ranking of these values, which is described later under the attributes in this metadata file. Analytical techniques are described in the references in Chap. E, Appendix 4, Disc 1. The analytical data are stored as text fields because many of the parameters contain letter qualifiers appearing after the numerical data values. The following is a list of the possible qualifier values: L - less than, G - greater than, N - not detected, or H - interference that cannot be easily resolved. Not all of these codes may be in this database.; abstract: This dataset (located by latitude and longitude) is a subset of the geochemical dataset found in Chap.
