We estimate effective fracture porosity and fracture density using permeability, aperture, and a roughness factor. The dataset is designed to support analyses of the relationship between hydraulic and petrophysical properties and depth, as well as the statistical distribution of these properties in low-permeability crystalline environments. Particular emphasis is placed on the strong variability and skewness of porosity and permeability values observed across datasets.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>-123.54</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>169.67</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>-45.49</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>68.02</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation><geoLocation><geoLocationPlace>Androscoggin, Maine, U.S.A., North America</geoLocationPlace></geoLocation></geoLocations></resource>
