Charcoal and soil, water, and reservoir sediment-core chemistry in the North Fork Salmon Creek basin and Conconully Reservoir, Washington, 2022-2023

July 10, 2025

Charcoal counts and soil, water, and reservoir sediment-core geochemistry were characterized eight months after the November 2021 Muckamuck Fire in the North Fork Salmon Creek basin and Conconully Reservoir, Washington, the receiving water body. Parameters include sand-sized charcoal, Cesium-137, excess Lead-210, aqueous and solid-phase elemental chemistry, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations (PAHs). Grain size and carbon were measured in select intervals in the longest sediment core.
