Ground Movements: Shrink/Swell Clays Project

The main aim of the project is to determine the shrinkage and swelling properties of UK clays and mudrocks and to investigate the relationships between them. Thus leading to a better understanding...

Engineering geology of tropical red clay soils

Dataset comprises the results of a study into the engineering geological characteristics of tropical red clay soils, funded by the Overseas Development Administration. The geotechnical properties...

Changes in gene expression and encapsulation in Drosophila melanogaster caused by exposure to parasitoid wasps v2

Data consists of gene expression estimates and encapsulation rates in wild caught Drosophila melanogaster larvae following exposure to different treatments. Treatments include injection with wasp...

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mineral Safeguarding Areas - Brick Clay only

The adopted [Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Local Plan...

Trait expression of marine benthic assemblages across the UK shelf modelled for the years 1976 to 2020

The data consist of two trait expression datasets described in Bolam, Downie and Cooper (2023). Used in conjunction with a number of raster data layers (see paper for details) and the...

Experimental direct shear friction dataset for synthetic clay gouges (NERC grant NE/L002469/1)

Friction coefficient and frictional stability (rate & state parameter) data for triaxially compressed direct shear experiments on kaolinite-rich china clay and Mg-montmorillonite fault gouges...

Mg and Li isotope data on laboratory clay minerals and metadata (NERC grant NE/M001865/1)

Clay minerals (smectites) were synthesised experimentally to determine isotope fractionation factors (Li and Mg). The data are provided here. Interpretation is ongoing.

Experimental friction dataset for heterogeneous and homogeneous mixed quartz-clay fault gouge layers (NERC Grant NE/P002943/1)

The data are from a suite of friction experiments performed on simulated fault gouges comprised of clay-quartz mixtures, sheared in a direct-shear arrangement. Some experiments were performed on...

Elemental and isotopic data for timed exchange experiments between clay, mineral water and seawater

This dataset presents both isotopic and elemental data for a series of cation exchange experiments between mineral water, montmorillonite clay and seawater. These were a series of in-house...

Collection of x-ray diffraction films and x-ray diffractograms from the clay fractions extracted from the sedimentary strata of the British Isles.

The C V Jeans collection of x-ray diffraction films and x-ray diffractograms form the basis of my investigations into the clay minerals stratigraphy of the Cretaceous, Jurassis, Permo-Triassic and...

Data from the Sinemurian-Pliensbachian boundary charcoal, clay, c-isotopes and palynofacies, Mochras core, NW Wales, UK

This dataset spans the Sinemurian-Pliensbachian boundary of the Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) drill core that was drilled onshore in the Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, UK. This dataset contains 1. Micro-,...

The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of poly(hydroxybutyrate)-based systems with clay additives changing crystallisation kinetics recorded at ambient temperature

The dataset contains spectra of Poly(hydroxybutyrate) – PHB – systems performed at ambient temperature. The data was collected using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), using two types...

Clay Mineralogy of Miocene to recent sediments collected at Site U1521 during International Ocean Discovery Programme (IODP) Expedition 374 to the Ross Sea, Antarctica

This dataset comprises 35 samples analysed for clay mineralogy from IODP Expedition 374 Site U1521 to the Ross Sea, collected on the RV JOIDES Resolution. Shipboard biostratigraphy and...

Effect of porosity and clays on geophysical and transport properties of sandstone exposed to CO2 injection: Influence of rock heterogeneities on CO2 storage monitoring (NERC Grants NE/X003248/1, NE/X006271/1)

This dataset gathers the data collected during a brine:CO2 flow-through experiments conducted on three sandstones with similar mineralogical compositions (major minerals) but different porosity,...

QICS Data: Gene expression data of scallops Pecten maximus and mussels Mytilus edulis held in the vicinity of a sub-seabed CO2 release (2012)

The QICS project (Quantifying and Monitoring Potential Ecosystem Impacts of Geological Carbons Storage) was established to improve our understanding of the potential impacts of CO2 release on the...
