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...

Laboratory experimental data on time-dependent rock deformation by the mechanism of brittle creep (NERC grant NE/G016909/1)

Laboratory experimental data on time-dependent rock deformation by the mechanism of brittle creep. The data was obtained from laboratory triaxial deformation experiments. The full dataset also...

Microstructures of natural shear zones (NERC grant NE/P001548/1)

The dataset contains information on the crystallographic orientation and on the grain size of minerals in the brittle-viscous shear zones. The methodology used to generate it is polarized light...

IODP Expedition 375 Site U1520 Unit IV fault and stylolite frequency and texture observations (NERC grant NE/S002731/1)

Data are either (1) depths and spacings between stylolites and faults within Unit IV, (2) images from IODP drill core image logs of the locations of samples observed, (3) photomicrographs and...

X-ray CT scan of true triaxially deformed Darley Dale sandstone sample tts6 (NERC Grant NE/N003063/1)

X-ray CT scan dataset of Darley Dale sandstone sample tts6. This sample was deformed in a true triaxial apparatus, and is fully described in the PhD thesis of Stuart (1992, UCL). The sample is a...

Habitat point records from 1988 MNCR Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh survey

Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh lie on the Scottish west coast, to the east of Skye. They were surveyed in 1988 as part of a major survey of Scottish sealochs. Loch Duich is a long narrow loch with...

Species point records from 1988 MNCR Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh survey

Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh lie on the Scottish west coast, to the east of Skye. They were surveyed in 1988 as part of a major survey of Scottish sealochs. Loch Duich is a long narrow loch with...

Cyclic loading stress-strain data in polycrystalline antigorite serpentinite, at various confining pressures and temperatures (NERC grant NE/M016471/1)

Cyclic loading stress-strain data in polycrystalline antigorite serpentinite, at various confining pressures and temperatures. This dataset is used and fully described/interpreted in the paper:...

Petrophysical characteristics of andesitic samples

This dataset contains petrophysical characteristics of andesite samples (geometry, porosity, permeability) before and after a series of mechanical tests (which were conducted as part of another...

Datafiles from elevated temperature velocity-step tests in a triaxial deformation apparatus

Datafiles are from a suite of frictional velocity step experiments on clay-bearing fault gouges, at elevated temperatures up to 180°C. The aim was to test if varying temperature reduces the...

Structure and function assessment of macrobenthic communities from north of the Dogger Bank, the Oyster Ground and at Sean Gas Field, in 2007

Four infaunal replicate samples were collected at each site using 0.1 m2 Nioz corers (diameter of approximately 30 cm) were sieved on a 1mm mesh sieve, the sieve remains were then sorted and...

High temperature and acoustic emissions experimental data on 'Comiso' Limestone (Ragusa Formation; Sicily, Italy)

This dataset contains raw experimental high temperature and acoustic emission testing data on ‘Comiso’ limestone samples as outlined in "Castagna, A., Ougier-Simonin, A., Benson, P. M., Browning,...

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...

Triaxial compressive strength tests on 'Comiso' Limestone (Ragusa Formation; Sicily, Italy) samples
