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...

UKGEOS Cheshire TH0424 Initial Core Scanning Dataset

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...

Compilation of: QEMSCAN; whole-rock, quartz and zircon geochemistry; zircon Lu-Hf isotopes; molybdenite Re-Os geochronology; and zircon U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS data from the Yerington Batholith, Nevada, USA

Carter, Lawrence

2022

Petrographic, whole-rock, quartz and zircon geochemistry, zircon Lu-Hf isotopes, molybdenite Re-Os geochronology and zircon U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS data from the Yerington Batholith, Nevada, USA. This data set comprises 10 .xlsx files collected during 2017-2022, as summarised below. They are each...

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...

Prees-2C Core Scanning Dataset

BGS Core Scanning Facility

2022

A comprehensive core scanning dataset from the Prees-2C borehole. This borehole was drilled onshore in the Cheshire Basin, Shropshire, UK, in November and December 2020 as part of the JET project (Integrated understanding of Early Jurassic Earth system and timescale -...

Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of the Wensleydale Granite, Yorkshire Dales, UK

Pashley, Vanessa | Thomas, Chris | Tapster, Simon

2021

We undertook U-Pb analysis - both high precision ID-TIMS and high spatial resolution LA-MC-ICP-MS – to determine the age of the Wensleydale Granite. This was done in order to resolve the ambiguity surrounding an earlier (1974) Rb/Sr age determination.

Compilation of Mineral and Glass Compositions erupted at Villarrica volcano, Chile
