Descriptions

This dataset contains noble gas (He, Ne, Ar) isotopic and elemental compositions of geothermal spring fluids collected across the North-Western Himalaya as part of the “Himalayan Geothermal Project: Investigating Geothermal Systems in the North Western Himalaya – Origin and Tectonic Influence”. The primary purpose of data collection was to determine the sources, mixing processes, and crust–mantle interactions governing geothermal fluid evolution in an active continental collision zone. Water samples were collected from major geothermal localities in Himachal Pradesh (India) using glass water. The entire analysis was carried out in the Laboratory of Noble Gas Isotopes at the INGV Section in Palermo following all standard procedures. The resultant dataset is provided as a single CSV file containing all processed noble gas concentrations, isotopic ratios and other realted data. This publication results from work conducted under the transnational access/national open access action at Laboratory of Noble Gas Isotopes at the INGV Section in Palermo (Italy) supported by WP3 ILGE - MEET project, PNRR - EU Next Generation Europe program, MUR grant number D53C22001400005.
