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...

GeoMod2008 materials benchmark: The sieve dataset

Klinkmüller, Matthias | Schreurs, Guido | Rosenau, Matthias

2016

This dataset provides sieve data (grain size distributions) on natural and artificial granular materials used for experimental simulation by the analogue geodynamic modelling community (21 sands and glass beads). The material samples have been collected community-wide and analysed at GFZ...

Magnetic susceptibility and thin sections data from the the Alftafjordur volcanic system in Eastern Iceland

Trippanera, Daniele | Urbani, Stefano | Kissel, Catherine | Winkler, Aldo | Sagnotti, Leonardo | Nazzareni, Sabrina | Acocella, Valerio | Porreca, Massimiliano

2020

This dataset contains supplementary materials to the manuscripts “Interpreting inverse magnetic fabric in Miocene dikes from Eastern Iceland” by Trippanera et al., (submitted to JGR) and “Anatomy of an extinct magmatic system along a divergent plate boundary: Alftafjordur, Iceland” by Urbani et...

Acoustic emission source parameters of laboratory triaxial stick-slip experiments on two Westerly granite samples

Blanke, Aglaja | Goebel, Thomas | Kwiatek, Grzegorz

2020

These data are supplementary to the GJI research article of Blanke et al. 2020, in which static stress drop estimates of laboratory acoustic emission (AE) waveform records were analyzed. Stick-slip experiments were conducted on two triaxial loaded Westerly Granite samples of different...

Supplementary Material for Analogue Experiments on Lateral versus Vertical Dike Propagation

Urbani, Stefano | Acocella, Valerio | Rivalta, Eleonora

2018

The dataset includes movies of 29 analogue experiments performed to investigate the effects on dike propagation by the following imposed parameters: density ratio between host-rock and magma analogues, rigidity layering and density layering of the host medium, flow rate and topography. The...

Paleomagnetic data of the Balzes Anticline

Rodríguez-Pintó, Adriana | Pueyo, Emilio L. | Sánchez, Elisa

2020

This dataset is built from data published in two different articles (Rodríguez-Pintó et al. 2012 and 2016). The main scientific goal described in the articles is the quantification of vertical axis rotations (VAR) around the bended axis of the Balzes anticline in the South Pyrenean frontal...

Ash generation of volcanic lapilli during rotary tumbling

Hornby, Adrian | Küppers, Ulrich | Maurer, Benedikt M. | Poetsch, Carina | Dingwell, Donald B.

2020

Data supporting the publication Hornby, AJ, Kueppers U, Maurer BM, Poetsch C and Dingwell DB (2020) "Experimental constraints on volcanic ash generation and clast morphometrics in pyroclastic density currents and granular flows". In this study, fine ash is generated from lapilli-sized...

Host Rock Variability Powers the Diversity of Steam-Driven Eruptions

Montanaro, Cristian | Cronin, Shane J. | Scheu , Bettina Scheu | Kennedy, Ben | Scott, Bradley J. | Dingwell, Donald B.

2020

Steam-driven eruptions are explosions that frequently occur in volcanic and geothermal areas. They are powered by the sudden release and expansion of steam and liquid water trapped under high pressure within the pore spaces of host rocks. We have experimentally studied how the strength of...

Experimental data of analogue landscape evolution models

Reitano, Riccardo | Faccenna, Claudio | Funiciello, Francesca | Corbi, Fabio | Willett, Sean D.

2020

This dataset includes raw data used in the paper by Reitano et al. (2020), focused on the effect of different analogue materials on the mechanical and erosional properties of some defined samples. The samples are mixes of three different analogue materials in various proportions. The...

Jet spreading and Jet inclination induced through complex vent geometry

Schmid, Markus | Kueppers, Ulrich | Cigala, Valeria | Sesterhenn, Jörn | Dingwell, Donald

2020

This dataset provides data from 36 rapid decompression experiments performed in the Fragmentation Lab at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU, Munich, Germany) supporting the publication Schmid, M, Kueppers U, Cigala V, Sesterhenn J and Dingwell DB (202x) “Release characteristics of...
