Effect of porosity and clays on geophysical and transport properties of sandstone exposed to CO2 injection: Influence of rock heterogeneities on CO2 storage monitoring

Falcon-Suarez, Ismael | Mondol, Nazmul Haque

2024

This dataset gathers the data collected during a brine:CO2 flow-through experiments conducted on three sandstones with similar mineralogical compositions (major minerals) but different porosity, clay-size fraction and clay mineralogy. The aim was to study the effect of such heterogeneities on...

210Pb-dated historical lake sediment metal concentrations from The Lake District, England (mid-19th century to 2016)

2022

Measurements of sediment properties (incl. organic and carbonate content), radionuclides (210Pb, 137Cs, 241Am) and elements (including mercury, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead) in lake sediment successions. Radionuclide dating provides a reliable chronology of sediment ages from the mid-19th...

Triaxial compressive strength tests on 'Comiso' Limestone (Ragusa Formation; Sicily, Italy) samples

Castagna, Angela | Fazio, Marco | Benson, Philip M | Vinciguerra, Sergio | Walker, Richard | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2023

This dataset contains raw experimental triaxial testing data as outlined in "Castagna, A., Ougier‐Simonin, A., Benson, P. M., Browning, J., Walker, R. J., Fazio, M., & Vinciguerra, S. (2018). Thermal damage and pore pressure effects of the Brittle‐Ductile transition in Comiso limestone....

Zircon U-Pb data for plutonic rocks from IODP Hole 1256D, eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean

Lissenberg, Johan | Condon, Daniel | Smye, Andrew | Anma, Ryo

2023

Zircon U-Pb data are presented for six plutonic rocks recovered from the Pacific oceanic crust (IODP Hole 1256D). These data constrain the age of the section, as well as the duration of crustal accretion. The data cover the bulk of the plutonic section recovered and were generated during...

Biological, chronological, geochemical and physical sedimentological data for the LP16 lake sediment record extracted from Lago Pato, Torres del Paine, Southern Chile in 2015

Roberts, Stephen | McCulloch, Robert | Emmings, Joseph | Davies, Sarah | Vyverman, Wim | Verleyen, Elie | Hayward, Chris

2022

The dataset comprises of site data and multiproxy analyses of the LP16 lake sediment cores extracted from Lago Pato, a small lake basin at 51.3031 S, 72.6816 W and approx 33 m a.s.l., which is topographically separated from Lago del Toro in Torres del Paine (TdP). The data are used to constrain...

2023

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography images of two deep-sea bamboo corals (Acanella arbuscula, Johnson, 1862; Keratoisis sp., Wright, 1869) collected from Baffin Bay and Davis Strait during a research expedition on board the CCGS Amundsen in July-August 2021. Corals were imaged using...

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...

Terrestrial palaeo-environmental proxy data of the Upper Pliensbachian, Mochras Borehole sediments, deposited in the Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales

Hollaar, Teuntje

2021

Terrestrial palaeo-environmental proxy data has been collected to examine orbital changes in wildfire activity in the Early Jurassic of the Mochras Borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales. To do this a high resolution charcoal abundance dataset was created and quantified in two size fractions,...

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,...
