The methodology used was built on the initial data collection in which 250 community members across target communities in Northern Ghana and Burkina Faso undertook a vulnerability assessment. The round 1 monitoring data consisted of redoing the vulnerability assessment and conducting in depth interviews with selected community members to track any changes in vulnerability around improved use of and access to groundwater.
Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA) data from a selection of tephra occurrences drilled at IODP Sites 350-U1436 and 350-U1437. (NERC grant NE/M005240/1)
Many tephra layers were identified in sediment cores drilled during IODP Expedition 350. Here, 1092 glass shards from 76 tephra occurrences (layer or patch) were analysed using electron probe microanalyses (EPMA). Data are not averaged, nor normalised. Geochemistry data were collected for: SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Cr2O3, FeO, MnO, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O, P2O5, SO3, Cl and O. Secondary standard data are given, as well as beam setup conditions. The data were obtained using the instruments at the University of Bristol, over two sessions during October and November 2014.
The dataset is made freely available for access, e.g. via the Internet. Either no third party data / information is contained in the dataset or BGS has secured written permission from the owner(s) of any third party data / information contained in the dataset to make the dataset freely accessible.
Particle size distributions were measured with a Malvern Mastersizer 2000 laser diffraction particle size analyser. All samples were placed on a shaking table for at least 10 minutes prior to analysis. Each sample was run 3 times in order to check the reproducibility of the measurements. The mean of each set of results was taken to calculate the values for each sample. The raw data are also included. All analyses were conducted at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.
Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) meteorological data from Cartmel Sands, Morecambe
The meteorological data describes the air and soil temperatures, net radiation balance, down-welling photosynthetically active radiation, wind speed, wind direction and the vapour pressure deficit. Data collection was carried out at Cartmel Sands marsh from the 31st of May 2013 till the 26th of January 2015. The Cartmel Sands site is in Morecambe, North West England, and the meteorological tower was situated in the middle of the marsh. This data was collected as part of Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS): NE/J015644/1. The project was funded with support from the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (BESS) programme. BESS is a six-year programme (2011-2017) funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) as part of the UK's Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) programme.

Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP): meteorological buoy measurements
This dataset contains meteorological, sea water temperature, surface ocean currents and wave height, direction and period measurements from a Seawatch Wavescan meteorological buoy deployed in the northwest Iceland Sea for the Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP). This was an international project involving the UK, US a Norwegian research communities. The UK component was funded by NERC, under the Amospheric Forcing of the Iceland Sea (AFIS) project (NE/N009754/1). The Seawatch Wavescan meteorological buoy was deployed during the first leg of the NATO Research Vessel Alliance cruise, on 21 February 2018. Its position in the northwest Iceland Sea was strategically placed adjacent to a subsurface mooring in the Eggvin Offset. The dataset contains standard meteorological variables, surface ocean currents and wave height, direction and period from the buoy. Sea water temperature measurements at 8 m depth from the co-located mooring beneath the buoy are included to replace failed sea surface temperature measurements from the buoy under the reasonable assumption that this was still within the surface ocean mixed layer in this region. Similarly, pressure measurements that failed for roughly half of the deployment are replaced by surface layer estimates from ECMWF's ERA5 reanalysis product interpolated to the position of the meteorological buoy, corroborated for the period the sensor was working. Otherwise the buoy worked well for 2.5 months, until it broke loose from its anchor and stopped recording on 6 May 2018 and was recovered soon after. Also provided in the dataset are bulk aerodynamic flux estimates generated using the COARE3.0a algorithm.

Land Cover Map 2007 (1km dominant target class, N. Ireland) Web Map Service
LCM2007 is a parcel-based thematic classification of satellite image data covering the entire United Kingdom. The map updates and upgrades the Land Cover Map of Great Britain (LCMGB) 1990 and LCM2000. Like the earlier 1990 and 2000 products, LCM2007 is derived from a computer classification of satellite scenes obtained mainly from Landsat, IRS and SPOT sensors. It also covers Northern Ireland and incorporates information derived from other ancillary datasets. LCM2007 was classified using a nomenclature corresponding to Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Broad Habitats, which encompasses the entire range of UK habitats. In addition, it records further detail where possible, incorporating land cover classes sought by other users. LCM2007 is produced in both vector and raster formats, with a number of different versions containing varying levels of detail and at different spatial resolutions. Product consists of the dominant Target Class per 1km square, raster dataset (Northern Ireland only).
The following copyright notice should be placed on all copies of information or images derived from the web map service: 'Based upon LCM2007 © UKCEH 2011'
LCM2007 uses a spatial framework based on OSNI Vector Map. Vector Map was generalised to remove unnecessary detail, then the framework was segmented according to the underlying satellite data to split areas of non-uniform landscape. The data was classified according to a parcel-based supervised maximum likelihood classification procedure. The raster products are derived from the vector products.
Regional Geochemical data from drainage basin reconnaissance survey carried out as part of a bilateral aid project between the UK Department for International development (DFID) (formerly ODA) and the Indonesian Government. Some 23,000 stream sediment samples collected and analysed (less than 80 mesh fraction) for Copper, Lead, Zinc, Cobalt, Nickel, Manganese, Silver, Arsenic, Molybdenum, Tin and Tungsten (partial extraction) and Lithium, Potassium, Chromium and Iron (total extraction). Samples collected and classified on the basis of 1:250 000 map quadrangle areas. Data gathering completed in two phases: First phase: North of the equator (North Sumatra Project, NSP). Second phase: South of the equator (Southern Sumatra Geological and mineral exploration Project). Sampling and analytical methodology has been consistent throughout. All data is available as on the Sumatra CD-database CD-ROM. North of the equator data published as 1:250 000 single element classified symbol plots and as a monochrome geochemical atlas. South of the equator data published as 1:250 000 single element proportional symbol plots and a geochemical atlas (hardcopy and CD-ROM). Projects also involved regional geological mapping and in Southern Sumatra regional geophysics (gravity). Raw data can be obtained from the Directorate of Mineral Resources, Bandung, Indonesia.

Analytical results from lightning discharge experiments focusing on interactions between nitrogen oxides and pyrite
The dataset includes measurements of dissolved and gaseous nitrogen oxides (nitrite, nitrate, NO(g)) generated by lightning discharge in a glass container partially filled with water, as well as measurements of dissolves sulfate and iron liberated from pyrite that has interacted with the nitrogen oxides. The lightning discharge experiments were carried out with either anoxic gas mixture (5% or 20% CO2 and the rest N2) or modern air. Lightning has long been identified as a source of reactive nitrogen species to Earth's early biosphere. These experiments were therefore conducted in order to test how this reactive nitrogen would interact with minerals at the Earth's surface. The results reveal that lightning-generated nitrogen oxides could have contributed to a small degree to oxidative weathering.
The experimental setup was similar to that of Barth et al. (2023, Nature Geoscience). Pyrite was added to the reaction flask, along with 21ml of deoxygenated DI-water. Nitrite, nitrate and nitric oxide gas, as well as sulfate and iron were measured over time by extracting 3ml of liquid every 6 minutes with a syringe through a septum. The analyses were conduced with an ion chromatograph for nitrite, nitrate and sulfate. Iron was measured by spectrophotometry. Nitric oxide gas was measured with an quadrupole mass spectrometer. Analytical details are described in Long et al. (in review). The aqueous data were corrected for the volume change that occurred as fluid was extracted. All experiments were carried out in triplicates. Blank experiments were conducted where the spark generator was turned off.
