A Database of Centrifuge Analogue Models Testing the Influence of Pre-Existing Weak Zones During Continental Compression

Wan, Xiaofan | Maestrelli, Daniele | Corti, Giacomo | Sani, Federico | Bonini, Marco | Ge, Xiang | Lei, Qingqing | Zou, Yaoyao | Shen, Chuanbo

2025

This dataset presents the raw data of an experimental series of centrifuge models performed to test the influence of pre-existing weak zones in the lower crust (herein after referred to as Weak Lower Crust –WLC) during continental compression. We varied the width of the WLC, the dip of the...

∂13C data of picrite rock samples from St Helena Island (South Atlantic Ocean)

Sandoval Velasquez, Andres Libardo | Aiuppa, Alessandro | Rizzo, Andrea Luca | Romano, Pierangelo | Taracsák, Zoltán

2025

This dataset includes ∂¹³C data of fluid inclusions hosted in lavas from St Helena. St Helena, a small volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, represents one of the classic examples of ocean island basalt (OIB) volcanism associated with intraplate mantle plumes. Although the island is...

New and compiled palaeomagnetic data from western Ross Sea (Antarctica) spanning the last ca. 10 ka

Sagnotti, Leonardo | Caricchi, Chiara | Macri, Patrizia | Colizza, Ester | Del Carlo, Paola | Di Roberto, Alessio | Winkler, Aldo

2025

This dataset includes both original and previously published paleomagnetic data. The new data refer to a marine sediment sequence (ANTA02-AV43 core) collected in the in Wood Bay, located along the coast of Victoria Land, within the western Ross Sea (Antarctica) and spanning the last ca. 10...

Noble Gas Isotopic Composition from Geothermal Springs of the North-Western Himalaya

Choudhary, Shubham | Thakur, Mahesh

2025

This dataset contains noble gas (He, Ne, Ar) isotopic and elemental compositions of geothermal spring fluids collected across the North-Western Himalaya as part of the “Himalayan Geothermal Project: Investigating Geothermal Systems in the North Western Himalaya – Origin and Tectonic Influence”....

Results from analogue inversion experiments of inherited structures controlling deformation and uplift with implications for the European eastern Southern Alps

Sieberer, Anna-Katharina | Willingshofer, Ernst | Klotz, Thomas | Ortner, Hugo | Pomella, Hannah

2025

This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 4 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. The experiments have been designed to allow...

High resolution age model from sedimentary collected along the southwestern Svalbard margin

Caricchi, Chiara | Sagnotti , Leonardo | Lucchi , Renata Giulia

2026

This dataset includes updated versions of high-resolution age models derived from six sedimentary cores collected from the southwestern Svalbard margin. The dataset presented here represents a refinement of a previous version (Caricchi et al., 2020; 2022), achieved through correlation of the...

Rheological tests of viscous material mixtures used as lithosphere analogues

Guillaume, Benjamin | Brizzi, Silvia | Funiciello, Francesca

2025

This dataset contains rheological and density measurements of viscous material mixtures used to simulate the lithosphere in analogue modeling of tectonic processes. Simulating lithospheric deformation occurring in nature over geological time scales requires appropriately scaled materials for...

SLIDEX Extreme climate-tectonics controls on landslides

Capitanio, Fabio | Reitano, Riccardo

2025

We implemented, by means of analogue laboratory modelling, the key processes of the feedback among erosion and landslides, isostatic response and lithospheric flexure, to address how these lead to landsliding. The processes involved have different response times and characteristic length-scales...

Digital Elevation Models and Time-Lapse Imagery from Analogue Experiments on the Interaction between Magma Injection and Rainfall-Driven Surface Processes

Lanari, Riccardo | Moumeni, Mohammad | Reitano, Riccardo

2026

This dataset documents a series of analogue experiments designed to investigate the coupled evolution of magma-driven surface uplift and rainfall-driven geomorphic processes. Seven controlled laboratory experiments were conducted, each combining shallow intrusion of a magma analogue with...

Intercalibration of the intra-laboratory 40Ar/39Ar reference material Drachenfels sanidine

Di Vincenzo, Gianfranco

2026

The dataset contains full 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data completed by multi-collector noble-gas mass spectrometry using the laser total fusion technique on sanidine separated from the Drachenfels trachyte (Drachenfels, Bad Godesberg, Germany). The Drachenfels sanidine represents a useful...
