Geophysical and transport properties of salt rocks subjected to loading/unloading, and during dissolution

Falcon-Suarez, Ismael Himar | Dale, Michael

2023

The dataset contains data from a dual experiment conducted to study (i) the stress dependence of ultrasonic (elastic) waves and permeability of salt rocks, and (ii) the dissolution of an intact and a cracked halite samples using geophysical methods. The tests were run in the high-pressure...

Triaxial data, hydrostatic loading data, grain size image analysis data and processed representative elementary area (REA) for Bentheim, Castlegate and a synthetic sandstone sample

Rice-Birchall, Elliot

2023

We examine the role of cement on compaction band formation by performing triaxial tests on three sandstones, Bentheim, Castlegate and a synthetic sandstone which possess very similar porosities (~26-29%) and grain sizes (~230-300 µm), but which are cemented differently, with syntaxial quartz...

Nanoindentation of shales from the Horn River Basin, North West Canada

Charlton, Tom | Rouainia, Mohamed | Aplin, Andy | Fisher, Quentin | Bowen, Leon

2022

This dataset contains results from nanoindentation testing of five shale samples from the Horn River Basin (core from wells A100B/94 and D94A/94). The samples are from the following formations: A3 Fort Simpson, A6 Fort Simpson, D1 Muskwa, A16 Otter Park, and A20 Evie. The data is in two...

Numerical modelling of fracture intensity increase due to interacting blast waves in three-dimensional granitic rocks

Paluszny, Adriana | Bird, Robert | Thomas, Robin N.

2023

This work presents a detailed three-dimensional finite element based model for wave propagation, combined with a postprocessing procedure to determine the fracture intensity caused by blasting. The data generated during this project includes output files of all simulations with detailed fields,...

L chondrite meteorite phosphate microscopy and U-Pb analyses

Walton, Craig | Shorttle, Oliver | Whitehouse, Martin J | Jeon, Heejin | Hu, Sen

2023

Microscopy (Scanning Electron Microscopy, Cathodoluminescence Imaging) and U-Pb isotopic (Secondary Ionisation Mass Spectrometry) analyses of phosphate minerals in a suite of nine L chondrite meteorites (and one reference analysis of an LL chondrite). The dataset includes multiple SIMS spot...

Crushed rock-water experimental data investigating the role of flash heating in hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide from silicate rocks and pyrite

Telling, Jon

2023

The datasets include the results of microcosm experiments documenting the generation of hydrogen gas, hydrogen peroxide and dissolved iron from silicate rocks and pyrite at zero deg C after they have been 'flash heated' to different temperatures. The data is in excel format. This data is from...

BGS Core Scanning Facility

2022

An initial core scanning dataset from the TH0424 borehole that was drilled onshore at Thornton Science Park, Cheshire, UK as part of the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Cheshire ground investigation funded by UKRI/NERC. The approximately 100 m long core succession comprises the Sherwood...

Geochemical and geochronological data from the LeMay Group, Antarctic Peninsula

Riley, Teal

2022

The files include full analytical details and datasets from the laboratories used for the acquisition of U-Pb zircon geochronology, Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry and 40Ar/39Ar analysis of detrital white mica. Also included are a list of all the published datasets used in the construction of the...

Micromechanics of shear failure in a porous rock: a combined dataset of high-resolution time-resolved 3D x-ray micro-tomography volumes and local 3D strain fields with contemporaneous acoustic emissions and ultrasonic velocity survey waveforms

Cartwright-Taylor, Alexis | Butler, Ian B | Fusseis, Florian | Ling, Martin | Andò, Edward | Mangriotis, Maria-Daphne | Main, Ian G | Rizzo, Roberto E | Marti, Sina | Leung, Derek D | Magdysyuk, Oxana V

2022

This dataset shows both the micro-scale mechanisms and acoustic response involved in shear failure of a deforming porous rock. To our knowledge, this is the first such dataset to combine simultaneous acoustic measurements and x-ray tomography imaging. It comprises a time-series of 3D in-situ...
