Short summary
We present a high-resolution 3D analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of two sandstone cubes at the submeter scale. Our study provides insight into the spatial distribution and the controlling factors of small-scale heterogeneity in sandstone media. A comprehensive physicochemical data set is provided, which may help to evaluate the degree of uncertainty that should be considered in field-scale property models.
