Summary

Surface geophysical surveys were conducted from 2016 to 2018 in the greater East River Watershed near Crested Butte Colorado with a focused effort in Redwell Basin as part of a broader study of the role of bedrock groundwater in the hydrogeology of mineralized mountain watersheds. Five electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) profiles were acquired within Redwell Basin and Brush Creek to map geologic structure at depths up to 40 meters, depending on the subsurface resistivity, using the Advanced Geosciences, Inc. SuperSting R8 resistivity meter. This data release includes the raw and processed resistivity data as well as inverted resistivity models. All are provided as digital data, and data fields for each file type are defined in [...]

Purpose

These surface data were collected to contribute high-resolution information about subsurface geologic structure that were used to inform the location of planned groundwater monitoring wells and the hydrogeologic conceptual model of the basin.
