Abstract:

The geochemical dataset of volatile compositions in soil gas and groundwater dissolved or free Gas along the Tan-Lu Fault Zone was developed based on the publicly available geochemical observations records of soil gas and groundwater gas along the Tanlu Fault Zone as of March 2026, it was established for a comprehensive multi-medium volatile geochemical dataset for the fault zone. The dataset comprises two categories: soil gas and dissolved/escaping gas in groundwater. Soil gas data are organized by survey line as the basic statistical unit, including survey line locations, sampling depths, and the mean, maximum, and standard deviation of H2, CO2, Rn, Hg, and other indicators. The groundwater dissolved/escaping gas data include compositional parameters such as He, H2, CO2, CH4, O2, N2, and Ar, as well as isotopic and ratio parameters including 3He/4He, 4He/20Ne, etc. Owing to differences in literature sources, sampling media, and analytical items, indicator coverage varies among records, with some fields containing missing data. The dataset is archived in .xlsx and .shp formats, and consists of 11 files with data size of 57.7 KB (compressed into 1 file with 38.8 KB). The dataset covers major segments of the Tanlu Fault Zone in Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, Liaoning, and Jilin provinces, reflecting spatial variations in deep volatile geochemical characteristics across different tectonic settings and sampling media. This dataset can provide fundamental data support for research on deep volatile release, crust-mantle fluid mixing, fault activity evaluation, and regional seismic geochemistry along the Tanlu Fault Zone.
