Supplement to: Growing Faults in the Lab: Insights into the Scale Dependence of the Fault Zone Evolution Process

Ritter, Malte C. | Rosenau, Matthias | Oncken, Onno

2017

This dataset is supplementary material to the article of Ritter et al. (2017). In this article, the similarity of fault propagation work in analogue sandbox experiments to natural fault networks is investigated through measurements in a strike-slip sandbox and in a ring-shear-tester. The...

Supplementary material for analogue experiments on the impact of the lithosphere on dynamic topography

Sembroni, Andrea | Kiraly, Agnes | Faccenna, Claudio | Funiciello, Francesca | Becker, Thorsten W. | Globig, Jan | Fernandez, Manuel

2017

We present videos and figures from 22 scaled analogue models used to investigate the interactions between a density anomaly rising in the mantle and the lithosphere in a Newtonian system. The experimental setup consists of a two layers viscous lithosphere-upper mantle system obtained by...

Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C

Verberne, Berend Antonie | Chen, Jianye | Pennock, Gillian

2017

The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening ductile flow. However, the mechanisms controlling this transition, and relevant to earthquake nucleation, remain...

Particle size distribution analyses of volcanic ash from Campi Flegrei (Italy) and Sakurajima (Japan) volcanoes

Del Bello, Elisabetta | Taddeucci, Jacopo | Scarlato, Piergiorgio | Giacalone, Emanuele

2017

This data publication includes particle size distribution data of natural volcanic ash samples used as starting material for laboratory experiments simulating the aggregation/disaggregation of colliding volcanic ash particles. Full details of the experimental method can be found in Del Bello...

Friction data of simulated fault gouges derived from the Groningen gas field

Hunfeld, Luuk | Niemeijer, André | Spiers, Christopher

2017

We investigated the frictional properties of simulated fault gouges derived from the main lithologies present in the seismogenic Groningen gas field (NE Netherlands), employing in-situ P-T conditions and varying pore fluid salinity. Direct shear experiments were performed on gouges prepared...

Experimental and model data of aggregate compaction by pressure solution

van den Ende, Martijn

2017

Intergranular pressure solution creep is an important deformation mechanism in the Earth’s crust. The phenomenon has been frequently studied and several analytical models have been proposed that describe its constitutive behavior. These models require assumptions regarding the geometry of the...

Dataset of Physical and Transport Property Variations Within the Carbonate-Bearing Fault Zones of the Monte Maggio Fault (Central Italy)

Trippetta, Fabio | Carpenter, Brett M | Mollo, Silvio | Scuderi, Marco M. | Scarlato, Piergiorgio | Collettini, Cristiano

2017

Here we report the raw data of the physical properties of carbonate samples collected along the Monte Maggio normal Fault (MMF), a regional structure (length ~10 km and displacement ~500 m) located within the active system of the Apennines (Italy). In particular, we report results coming from...

Centrifuge models investigating the influence of transverse pre-existing weaknesses on continental rifting

Corti, Giacomo | Sordi, Riccardo | Cucci, Federica

2018

We present the results of centrifuge experiments investigating the role of preexisting crustal discontinuity on continental rifting. Specifically, we reproduce inherited weaknesses, orthogonal to the rift trend and parallel to the extension direction, and analyze their influence on the...

Creep data of (Dotternhausen) Posidonia shale

Rybacki, Erik | Herrmann, Johannes | Wirth, Richard | Dresen, Georg

2018

Experimentally determined data to examine the creep behavior of an immature carbonate-rich Posidonia shale (Dottenhausen), subjected to constant stress conditions at temperatures between 50 and 200 °C and confining pressures of 50–200 MPa, simulating elevated in-situ depth conditions. The...

Brittle models of fault-volcano interactions during extension

De Matteo, Ada | Corti, Giacomo | van Wyk de Vries, Benjamin | Massa, Bruno | Mussetti, Giulio

2018

This dataset contains 11 top view photographs of fault pattern in sand surfaces from a series of analogue tectonic experiments run to investigate the interaction between faults and volcanic features in areas characterized by pure extension, such as in rift areas...
