Datafiles from elevated temperature velocity-step tests in a triaxial deformation apparatus

Ashman, Isabel | Faulkner, Daniel | Mariani, Elisabetta

2025

Datafiles are from a suite of frictional velocity step experiments on clay-bearing fault gouges, at elevated temperatures up to 180°C. The aim was to test if varying temperature reduces the stability of clay-rich faults, measured by the rate and state friction parameter (a-b). Data were...

Triaxial compressive strength data of tests conducted at varying strain rates and confining pressures on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member

Valdez II, Robert | Forbes Inskip, Nathaniel D | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2025

The dataset contains triaxial compressive strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was subjected to varying strain or displacement-equivalent rates under conventional triaxial stress conditions to evaluate its...

Field observations and analysis data for rock samples from Kamativi, Zimbabwe, 2018

Shaw, Richard | Goodenough, Kathryn M | Rushton, Jeremy C | Mounteney, Ian

2025

This dataset comprises geological field observations, whole-rock geochemical data (ICP-MS) and mineralogical data (XRD, SEM-EDS) for rock samples collected in and around the Kamativi area of Zimbabwe in October 2018. Samples of between 5 and 10 kilograms were collected in the field by a team of...

Spatial and temporal datasets for shear-thinning and Newtonian small-scale analogue dyke experiments

Kavanagh, Janine | Chalk, Caitlin | Jones, Thomas | Dennis, David

2025

These data consist of spatial and temporal datasets for 7 different small-scale laboratory experiments of fluid-driven fractures, described in the paper The hidden internal flow dynamics of shear-thinning magma in dikes (Kavanagh et al., 2025, accepted in AGU Advances, March 2025). These...

Brazilian Disc Tensile Strength (BDTS) data of tests conducted on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member

Valdez II, Robert | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2025

The dataset contains indirect tensile strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was unconfined and deformed under uniaxial compression, where the primary principal stress corresponds to the axial stress and the...

Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) data of tests conducted on salt samples from the Northwich Halite Member

Valdez II, Robert | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2025

The dataset contains unconfined compressive strength data of salt samples collected from the Northwich Halite Member at the Winsford Mine in Cheshire, UK. Each sample was unconfined and deformed under standard uniaxial stress conditions, where the primary principal stress corresponds to the...

Geochemical and geochronological data from the Fossil Bluff Group, Antarctica

Riley, Teal

2023

The files include full analytical details and datasets from the laboratories used for the acquisition of U-Pb zircon geochronology and Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry. The data were collected in the interval September 2022 to January 2023 across a number of laboratories: Stockholm, University...

Geochemical products of laboratory-simulated abrasion of natural quartz and alkali feldspar incubated at low temperatures

Gill-Olivas, Beatriz | Telling, Jon | Tranter, Martyn

2024

Geochemical data collected during a 40 day incubation of crushed silicate minerals (quartz and alkali feldspar). Quartz and alkali were crushed separately under an oxygen-free atmosphere using a planetary ball mill. The crushed minerals where then incubated in serum vial under with...

Cosmogenic Be-10 and Al-26 data and calculated surface exposure ages for cobbles collected from a moraine adjacent to Mount Murphy, West Antarctica

Nichols, Keir | Roberts, Stephen | Rood, Dylan | Johnson, Joanne | Wilcken, Klaus | Brown, Katie

2024

This dataset consists of measurements of cosmogenic Be-10 and Al-26 in quartz for a set of cobbles collected from a moraine proximal to Mount Murphy, a nunatak located between Pope and Thwaites glaciers, West Antarctica. The cobbles were collected during the 2015-2016 Antarctic field season....
