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

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...

Numerical modelling of fracture intensity increase due to interacting blast waves in three-dimensional granitic rocks

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...

Teignbridge DNP Boundary

Dartmoor is an area of moorland in south Devon, England. Protected by National Park status as Dartmoor National Park, it covers 954 square kilometres (368 sq mi). The granite upland...

Mechanical data from laboratory shear failure experiments of fluid saturated Westerly granite (NERC Grant NE/S000852/1)

Data recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite in the presence of pressurised pore fluids (water). Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement, confining...

Ultrasonic and mechanical data from laboratory shear failure experiments in fluid saturated Westerly granite (NERC Grant NE/S000852/1)

Data recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite in the presence of pressurised pore fluids (water). Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement, confining...

Mechanical properties of saw-cut Westerly Granite during injection from a borehole in a laboratory sample (NERC grant NE/K009656/1)

This dataset is used and fully described/interpreted in the paper: Passelegue, F. X., N. Brantut, T. M. Mitchell, Fault reactivation by fluid injection: Controls from stress state and injection...

Data (ultrasonic, mechanical) and microstructures of shear failure in Lanhelin granite under upper crustal conditions (NERC Grant NE/M004716/1)

Data has been recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments where Lanhelin granite samples were subjected to dynamic and half-controlled shear failure. The data consists of mechanical data...

Mechanical data from laboratory rock physics characterisation and deformation experiments on Westerly granite and Darley Dale sandstone (NERC Grant NE/K009656/1)

Data recorded during hydrostatic pressurisation and triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite and Darley Dale sandstone. Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement,...

Species point records from 1981 James south Cornwall sublittoral survey

The principal aim of this survey was to record community and habitat information from the rocky sublittoral along the coast of Cornwall from Land's End to Nare Head (10 km north-east of Falmouth)....

Species point records from 1983 Smith Isles of Scilly littoral fauna survey

This report covers work done under contract to the NCC which was part only of a larger survey of the Isles of Scilly and is therefore far from comprehensive. The remit was limited to descriptions...

Data of a controlled rupture experiment under triaxial conditions of Lanhelin granite, and acoustic data recorded for laboratory-scale seismic tomography. (NERC grant NE/M004716/1)

This data has been recorded during a triaxial rock deformation experiment where a Lanhelin granite samples was subjected to controlled shear failure. The data consists of mechanical data (load,...

The BGS Rock Classification Scheme

The BGS Rock Classification Scheme (RCS) is a comprehensive classification scheme for all types of rocks and unconsolidated sediments worldwide. It is intended to be used for classification of...

Mechanical and acoustic properties of antigorite during brittle deformation (NERC grant NE/M016471/1)

These data contain time series of stress, strain, confining pressure, elastic wave velocities of samples of Vermont antigorite and Westerly granite deformed under hydrostatic and triaxial...

Crushed rock-water experimental data investigating the role of temperature in generating hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide from silicate rocks (NERC Grants NE/W005506/1, NE/S001670/1)

The data was generated from a range of laboratory experiments where a range of silicate rocks (granite, basalt, peridotite) were crushed in oxygen-free conditions, deoxygenated water added, and the...
