Species point records from 1992 DWT Plym Estuary littoral survey

The first real noticeable outcome from observations of the estuary whilst sampling, is that a large percentage of the mud is made up of China Clay. This is present as a result of being emitted by...

Geohazard Assessment of Shrink Swell Behaviour of Deposits

**No longer exists - now part of GeoSure**An assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to shrink or swell with changes in moisture content. A characteristic usually of clays, mudstones...

Stoer Group and Sibley Group nitrogen geochemistry in red beds (NERC Grant NE/V010824/1)

Nitrogen abundances in red shales are shown to be suitable as a biosignature that may be applicable to red beds on Mars. The data set includes organic carbon and nitrogen abundances and isotopic...

16S rRNA Gene Sequencing of Filtered Groundwater from 8 Boreholes in Cambodia (NERC grant NE/P01304X/1)

This dataset represents the raw reads from sequencing the V4 hyper-variable region of the 16S rRNA gene on an Illumina MiSeq platform. The samples are filtered groundwater samples from 8 boreholes...

newGeoSure Insurance Product version 7 2015.3

**This dataset has been superseded** The newGeoSure Insurance Product (newGIP) provides the potential insurance risk due to natural ground movement. It incorporates the combined effects of the 6...

Cyclic Thermal Loading and Triaxial strength test data from the Whitby Mudstone Formation

Geomechanical strength data of mudstone samples collected from the Grey Shale Member of the Whitby Mudstone Formation of the Lias Group. Testing includes cyclic thermo-mechanical loading completed...

GeoSure Shrink Swell Deposits

The GeoSure data sets and reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and user-friendly format. The reports can help...

GeoSure shrink swell deposits version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to shrink and swell. Many soils contain clay minerals that absorb water when wet (making them swell), and lose water as...

Experimental logs and analysis of olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) composition garnetite samples recovered from high-pressure faulting experiments

Multi-anvil experiments were performed both in static and deformation geometries on olivine polymorphs and MORB (Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt) -composition garnetite. Faults were induced by uniaxial...

Geomechanical properties of the Carboniferous Middle Coal Measures (Boreholes GGC01 and GGA08)

A brief description of ten core plug samples collected from borehole GGC01 (Glasgow, United Kingdom) is provided, as well as for twelve 15-50 g cuttings samples from 1m intervals within borehole...

Abundance, biomass and elemental composition (CNP) of consumers in the Hampshire Avon [Macronutrient Cycling]

The dataset contains measurements of the annual average abundance, biomass and elemental composition (C, N, P) of consumers (fish and invertebrates) in six rivers within sub-catchments of the...

Time series inorganic groundwater data for the Oju/Obi area of Eastern Nigeria from 1997 and 1998. Rainfall chloride time series data from selected rain gauges from 1997. Clay mineralogy data from selected boreholes in Oju and Obi.

Oju/Obi is a remote part of Eastern Nigeria. There are severe water shortages during the 4-5 month dry season. The hydrogeology of the area is complex, and groundwater is difficult to find. In an...

Cyclic Thermal Loading and Triaxial strength test data from the Sidmouth Mudstone Formation

Geomechanical strength data of mudstone samples collected from the Gunthorpe Member, of the Sidmouth Mudstone Formation of the Mercia Mudstone Group. The testing was completed at the British...

Shrink-swell hazard potential for Great Britain based on CHESS-SCAPE climate projections, from 2030s to 2070s. (PREMIUM version: 50m resolution)

This dataset identifies areas of shrink-swell hazard with increased potential due to changing climatic conditions based on climate variables from 3 CHESS-SCAPE Representative Concentration Pathway...
