Palynofacies, microcharcoal, clay mineralogical and carbon isotope mass spectrometry measurements from the Late Pliensbachian (934 – 918 mbs) of the Mochras core, Cardigan Bay Basin, NW Wales, UK....

Carbon and nitrogen cycling in chalk, greensand and clay soils over a seasonal cycle in the Hampshire Avon catchment

Data on the carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils from different geologies within the Hampshire Avon catchment, UK. The dataset also includes functional gene data, anion and cation concentrations,...

Rehydroxilation of Fire-Clay Ceramics: Factors affecting early-stage mass gain in dating experiments (NERC grant NE/I014039/1)

Publication associated with NERC grant NE/I014039/1. In this paper, we discuss how the initial stages of mass gain are affected by the specific surface area (SSA) of the ceramic material. The paper...

The effect of clay content on the dilatancy and frictional properties of fault gouge (NERC Grant NE/L002469/1)

This information details the method of calculating dilatancy from pore volumometry measurements. In the velocity step tests, an initial shear enhanced compaction phase drastically reduces the...
