Nirex rock cores and core samples from deep boreholes

During the period from 1989 to 1997, Nirex undertook extensive geological investigations at sites near Sellafield, in Cumbria, and Dounreay, in Caithness, to examine whether or not they were...

Crushed rock-water experimental data investigating the role of temperature in generating hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide from silicate rocks (NERC Grants NE/W005506/1, NE/S001670/1)

The data was generated from a range of laboratory experiments where a range of silicate rocks (granite, basalt, peridotite) were crushed in oxygen-free conditions, deoxygenated water added, and the...

Localized Flow in Fractured Rock Masses: Mechanisms, Modelling and Characterization

Coupled (mechanical-hydraulic) numerical models based on the distinct element method will be used to investigate the behaviour of fluid flow in fractured rock-masses under stress. Flow localization...

MPA Poole Rocks Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2015

The Poole Rocks MCZ was surveyed between the 5th and 8th September 2015 by the Environment Agency on the vessel Solent Gaurdian 51 samples were taken. The data were collected for the Marine...

Field observations and analysis data for rock samples from Kamativi, Zimbabwe, 2018

This dataset comprises geological field observations, whole-rock geochemical data (ICP-MS) and mineralogical data (XRD, SEM-EDS) for rock samples collected in and around the Kamativi area of...

2010 Natural England/MarClim Renney Rocks Intertidal Survey

Survey name: 2010 Natural England/MarClim Renney Rocks Intertidal Survey This is a collation of surveys to gather data and evidence from a variety of marine environments. The survey purposes vary...

Whole rock data for samples from Mt. St. Helens

Whole rock analyses (presented in parts per million, ppm) of volcanic samples from Mt. St Helens, Washington, USA. Detailed sample descriptions and given in Blundy et al. (2008) and references...

Whole rock geochemisty data (NERC Grant NE/J021822/1)

The dataset consists of a spreadsheet containing whole rock geochemistry (Major and trace elements, Hf isotopes) from 7 samples and zircon U-Pb, O, Hf isotope and trace elements compositions...

The Scaling Behaviour of Fluid Flow in Rock Fractures

Fluid flow through natural fractures depends upon the scaling behaviour of their fractually rough surfaces. We have developed techniques for imaging fluid flow in the natural rock fractures...

Major element analyses of whole rocks from Mt. St. Helens

Analyses of major elements (presented as weight percent oxide) in volcanic rocks from Mt. St. Helens, Washington, USA. The data table includes sample descriptions. More detailed sample descriptions...

Whole rock geochemical data from the Alpine Fault Zone (NERC Grant NE/J022128/1)

Whole rock geochemical data from the Alpine Fault Zone. These data have been generated from systematic sampling through the Deep Fault Drilling Project - Phase 1 rock cores and from analyses of...

The BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units (September 2017)

The Lexicon of Named Rock Units provides definitions of lithostratigraphic, lithodemic, and litho-morpho-genetic geological units of the United Kingdom and its associated continental shelf. The...

The BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units (April 2019)

The Lexicon of Named Rock Units provides definitions of lithostratigraphic, lithodemic, and litho-morpho-genetic geological units of the United Kingdom and its associated continental shelf. The...

Experimental data on tight rock permeability (NERC Grant NE/R017883/1)

The dataset describes the results of high pressure experimental measurements of three contrasting 'tight' rocks; a Bowland Shale, a Haynesville shale and Pennant sandstone. The results are...

Whole rock porphyry Cu deposit assay data (NERC Grants NE/M010848/1, NE/M011615/1)

Whole rock assay data for the El Teniente, Skouries and Muratdere porphyry Cu deposits. Samples were selected for analysis from boreholes in the Muratdere Cu-Au-Mo porphyry deposit, Western Turkey;...

The impact of mineral dissolution on drainage relative permeability and residual trapping in two carbonate rocks

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into deep saline aquifers is governed by a number of physico-chemical processes including mineral dissolution and precipitation, multiphase fluid flow, and capillary...

Rock Physics and Seismic Amplitude Calibration Study

In support of the 32nd Licence Round, the NSTA is releasing a rock physics study which has been conducted by Ikon Science. The study covers two parts of the UKCS – the Central North Sea (CNS) and...

Carbon dioxide flux and isotopic composition from sedimentary rock weathering, Draix-Bleone Critical Zone Observatory, France

The measurements and data were obtained to study the release of carbon dioxide during the chemical weathering of sedimentary rocks, and how these CO2 fluxes were related to environmental parameters...

Species point records from 1972 Holme Renney Rocks (Heybrook Bay, Plymouth) littoral monitoring

The fauna of Renney Rocks is not especially rich, and there may be some doubt as to whether it is particularly suitable for monitoring. However, there is a good variety of intertidal algae. Due to...
