Leading linear growth rates for steady uniform morphodynamic overland flows at different Froude numbers and grain diameters (NERC Grant NE/S00274X/1)

Shallow overland flows in steady state can become unstable and break up into destructive surges. The following data documents maximum growth rates for disturbances to uniform steady flows on a...

2002 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 Laboratory report. Grain size analyses sea bed sediments collected in North Sea, 2001. BGS Tech Note CR/01/193

This report is the product of the laboratory analyses carried out on sediments collected on the MV Kommandor Jack during the summer or 2001 as part of Department of Trade and Industry's (now...

Triaxial data, hydrostatic loading data and processed representative elementary area (REA), grain size image analysis data for Bentheim, Castlegate and a synthetic sandstone sample (NERC Grant NE/L002469/1)

We examine the role of cement on compaction band formation by performing triaxial tests on three sandstones, Bentheim, Castlegate and a synthetic sandstone which possess very similar porosities...

Fine-grained sediment diffuse pollution risk mapping scenarios for the Yorkshire Derwent catchment

Erosion risk mapping showing river channel concentrations modelled using SCIMAP for the Yorkshire River Derwent, UK. Scenario mapping has been carried out and the dataset includes the following...

Laser ablation trace element analyses of rutile and apatite grains from the Zambian Copperbelt

Laser ablation trace element data for rutile and apatite were recovered from Mindola and Nchanga. At Mindola the Kitwe Formation is the major host to Cu-Co (copper-cobalt) mineralisation at...

The data in this file represent measurements of the the depth, grain size characteristics and sedimentation rate for sediment cores collected from the floodplain of the Rio Beni in 2011, 2012, and...

Geochemistry and grain size of terrestrial sediments collected across a stream network, Swineshaw Moor, UK, 2018

This dataset contains details of sediment geochemistry, loss-on-ignition and sediment median particle size for terrestrial sediment samples collected across the stream network of Harehill and...

Verifying the declared country of origin of timber using Stable Isotope and Trace Element (SITE) fingerprinting, to prevent illegal trade

Report contains data that can be used under Open Government Licence. This project aims to develop techniques and a reference data library that will enable verification of the declared origin of...

Direct testing of forsterite bicrystals via in-situ micropillar experiments at 700 deg C (NERC Grant NE/S00162X/1)

The mechanics of olivine deformation play a key role in long-term planetary processes, including the response of the lithosphere to tectonic loading or the response of the solid Earth to tidal...

Electron backscatter diffraction data and sample analysis from the Nusfjord Shear Zone, Lofoten, Norway (NERC Grant NE/P001548/1)

Field and microstructural analysis of pseudotachylytes formed at lower crustal depths and now lying exposed in the Flakstadøy Anorthosite, Lofoten, Norway. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)...
