QICS Paper: The use of scientific diving in support of a novel carbon dioxide release experiment

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a way of possibly reducing impacts from fossil fuel emissions by injecting large volumes of carbon dioxide into appropriate geological formations. Some of the...

BGS Geoscience Imagebase

The Geoscience Imagebase is the BGS internal corporate repository for photographic images and their metadata and run on commercial software called Assetbank from Bright Interactive. It also...

EPSRC Project: Fingerprinting captured CO2 using natural tracers: Determining CO2 fate and proving ownership

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged as a promising means of lowering CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. However, concerns about the possibility of harmful CO2 leakage are...

QICS Paper: Modelling Large-Scale CO2 Leakages in the North Sea

A three dimensional hydrodynamic model with a coupled carbonate speciation sub-model is used to simulate large additions of CO2 into the North Sea, representing leakages at potential carbon...

Direct-shear experimental data on sedimentary gouge samples under high confining pressure and sliding velocity steps

This dataset contains raw experimental direct shear testing data as presented by "Ougier-Simonin, A., Castagna, A., Walker, R. J., & Benson, P. M. (2018). Frictional and mechanical behavior of...

Direct shear strength testing data on sedimentary gouge samples under high confining pressure

This dataset contains raw experimental direct shear testing data as presented by "Ougier-Simonin, A., Castagna, A., Benson, P. and Walker, R. (2017). Direct shear characterisation of simulated...

A global Ediacaran-Cambrian Age Model of 130 geological successions, with radiometric ages (zircon U-Pb CA-ID-TIMS), carbon (δ13Ccarb) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope data (NERC Grant NE/T008458/1)

We present new age models for the Ediacaran-Cambrian which lacks a robust global temporal framework. This interval marks the radiation of animals, but there are major uncertainties in the...

Energy Supply Point Locations - Scotland

The location of existing and planned sources of energy, both electricity and heat, is provided as part of the Scotland Heat Map. Alongside data on heat demand, this is used to identify...

Tomographic data on the developmental biology of the Early Cambrian cnidarian Olivooides (NERC grant NE/J018325/1)

The folders GMPKU2311, GMPKU3089, ELISN108-343 and ELISN31-5 contain data from X-ray tomographic analyses of fossil embryos and post-embryonic stages as described: There is one data folder provided...

Sediment data from IODP Expedition 363 (NERC grant NE/P016456/1)

Sediment % coarse fraction (>63 microns), and abundance of fish teeth in coarse fraction. 2016 has been a record breaking year in terms of global temperatures. The high temperatures have...

Mine Water Geothermal Resource Atlas for Scotland

A Web Mapping Tile Service (WMTS) layer identifying optimal locations across Scotland for mine water geothermal development. Mine water geothermal energy describes the low-carbon practice of using...
