This dataset contains the results of a laboratory study investigating the dissolution of UO3•nH2O particles in dynamic sediment/groundwater column systems, representative of the shallow subsurface at the Sellafield Ltd. site, UK. Measurements were carried out to determine the extent of...

Filter pack and cascade impactor samples of gas and aerosol particulate matter on the Island of Hawai'i (2018, 2019)

Ilyinskaya, Evgenia | Mason, Emily | Wieser, Penny | Liu, Emma | Whitty, Rachel

2021

This dataset reports chemical speciation of airborne gas and aerosol particulate matter (PM) sampled in various locations on the Island of Hawai'i in 2018 and 2019. The 2018 samples were collected during a large eruption of Kilauea volcano. The 2019 samples were collected during a period of...

Lipid biomarker palaeothermometry and carbon isotope data for eleven lignites spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary in North America

Jerrett, Rhodri | O’Connor, Lauren | Lengger, Sabine | Dearing Crampton-Flood, Emily | Price, Gregory | van Dongen, Bart | Davies, Marc

2024

The dataset consists of eleven spreadsheet tabs, each tab containing lipid biomarker palaeothermometry (air temperature reconstructions) and bulk organic carbon isotope data from individual lignites that are known to stratigraphically span the Cretaceous-Palaeogene (K-Pg) boundary....

Natural radionuclide concentrations in soil, water, sediment and biota in England and Wales

Beresford, N.A. | Barnett, C.L. | Jones, D.G. | Wood, M.D. | Appleton, J.D. | Breward, N. | Copplestone, D.

2015

Data comprise estimates of activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides (40K, 238U and 232Th series radionuclides) in environmental media (soil and stream sediments and waters) and non-human biota (focusing on the ICRP Reference Animals and Plants). For soil, stream sediments...

High precision zircon U-Pb data for plutonic rocks from the Masirah and Ra's Madrakah ophiolites, South East Oman

Jansen, Max | MacLeod, Christopher | Lissenberg, Johan | Parkinson, Ian | Condon, Daniel

2024

Zircon U-Pb isotope data are presented for eight plutonic rocks from the Masirah ophiolite and one plutonic rock from the Ra's Madrakah ophiolite (South East Oman). These data constrain the age of formation of the two ophiolite nappes exposed on Masirah Island (early Cretaceous), whereas two...

Stoer Group and Sibley Group nitrogen geochemistry in red beds

Stüeken, Eva E. | Fralick, Philip | Prave, Anthony R.

2024

Nitrogen abundances in red shales are shown to be suitable as a biosignature that may be applicable to red beds on Mars. The data set includes organic carbon and nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios, carbonate carbon and oxygen isotope ratios, and metal abundances. We evaluate potential...

40Ar/39Ar geochronology of basaltic samples from Bruce Bank and Jane Bank of the Scotia Sea

Riley, Teal

2023

The datasets refer to the dating of three basaltic samples collected from Bruce Bank and Jane Bank in the southern Scotia Sea. The samples were dredged from depths between 850 -1900 m from steep scrap slopes at two locations (DR.225: 59.927 degrees S, 39.154 degrees W; DR.84: 62.468 degrees...
