Abstract

This data collection bundles six datasets about the surface, subsurface and environmental conditions of saltpans that express polygonal patterns in their surface salt crust that are fully described in Lasser et al., 2020 (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2020-86). Information stems from 5 field sites at Badwater Basin and 21 field sites at Owens Lake – both in central California, US. All data was recorded during two field campaigns, from between November and December, 2016, and in January 2018.
