Kent and Essex IFCA whelk pot hole size pilot study 2012

In response to a dramatic increase in the number of whelk pots being set in the district in 2011, KEIFCA introduced an emergency byelaw limiting the number of pots per vessel to 300. As part of the...

1988-2011 Stebbing et al. British records of American lobsters, Homarus americanus

American lobsters (Homarus americanus) are native to the east coast of North American and Canada, but have been imported live into Europe for several decades resulting in their escape into the...

Testing Modifications to the Net Grid in the Farne Deeps Single Rig Nephrops fishery 2019/20 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This work was carried out as part of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) programme. The aim of this project was to further develop a selective Net Grid trawl with two cod ends to improve...

Joule II Project Paper: An overview of the underground disposal of carbon dioxide

The underground disposal of industrial quantities of CO2 is entirely feasible. Cost is the main barrier to implementation. The preferred concept is disposal into porous and permeable reservoirs...

Micromechanics of shear failure in a porous rock: a combined dataset of high-resolution time-resolved 3D x-ray micro-tomography volumes and local 3D strain fields with contemporaneous acoustic emissions and ultrasonic velocity survey waveforms

This dataset shows both the micro-scale mechanisms and acoustic response involved in shear failure of a deforming porous rock. To our knowledge, this is the first such dataset to combine...

Mechanical response of anisotropic rocks under hydraulic fracture conditions: new experimental insights (NERC grant NE/L009110/1)

Text data capturing pore fluid pressures (upstream and downstream), axial stress, axial and radial displacement were conditioned and logged by a high-speed data acquisition unit (NI-DAQ 6341)...

Brine-CO2 flow-through test in synthetic sandstone with oblique fractures

NERC grant NE/R013535/1. Here we present the dataset collected during a brine-CO2 flow-through test using a synthetic sandstone with oblique fractures, performed under realistic reservoir...

Scaling of Fluid Behaviour Associated with Flow Through Complex Geological Structures

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This project is designed to integrate geological structural characterisation of fault zones with numerical modelling of flow behaviour at different scales. We will...

Example Elastic Calculations for ElasT Toolkit (NERC Grant NE/M000125/1)

Elastic constants were calculated by using the stress-strain method and density functional theory for crystals of different symmetry. A toolkit was developed to facilitate the input preparation and...

Triaxial compressive strength data of tests conducted at elevated temperature on hydrothermalised basalt samples from Osa Peninsula (Costa Rica) and oceanic crust basalt from Cocos Plate

This dataset contains raw (clean but not interpreted) triaxial compressive strength data of tests conductive at elevated pressure and temperature as outlined in "Vannucchi, P., Clarke, A., de...

Rheology of three-phase suspensions (NERC grant NE/K500999/1)

The data consists of a spreadsheet containing rheology data for 39 samples of syrup, containing air bubbles and/or spherical glass particles. These data were used by Truby et al. (2014) to support...

Scaling Properties of Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks

PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. This proposal is to test the hypothesis that secondary (crack) porosity can be treated as a scaling problem in both fracture and fluid percolation theory. This will...

Health behaviours JSNA 2015 - survey data by district

In Lancashire there was limited information about the extent to which people engaged in health-compromising and health-enabling behaviours. To address this a project was commissioned to look at...

QICS Paper: Impact and recovery of pH in marine sediments subject to a temporary carbon dioxide leak

A possible effect of a carbon dioxide leak from an industrial sub-sea floor storage facility, utilised for Carbon Capture and Storage, is that escaping carbon dioxide gas will dissolve in sediment...

Raw output data of axisymmetric rock deformation experiments on neighbourite (NERC grant NE/L007363/1)

Data files have .dat extension and can be opened with Notepad or any basic text editor software. Each file contains details of sample name, dimensions (length and diameter). All deformed samples...

X-ray CT scan of true triaxially deformed Darley Dale sandstone sample tts6 (NERC Grant NE/N003063/1)

X-ray CT scan dataset of Darley Dale sandstone sample tts6. This sample was deformed in a true triaxial apparatus, and is fully described in the PhD thesis of Stuart (1992, UCL). The sample is a...

2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 Technical report - Pockmarks in the UK sector of the North Sea

This report is a contribution to Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) and it reviews the...

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...
