Environmental Change Network (ECN) Wytham deer exclosure experiment: 1997-2008

The Environmental Change Network (ECN) coarse-grain and woodland protocols were used to assess the vegetation within the deer exclosure plots at the ECN Wytham site. In the ECN coarse-grain...

Grain Size data from a selection of tephra occurrences drilled at IODP Sites 350-U1436 and 350-U1437. (NERC grant NE/M005240/1)

120 samples of 57 tephra layers identified at IODP Expedition 350 sites (U1436 and U1437) were used in grain size analysis. Some layers have one grain size measurement, others have multiple...

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...

Chemical composition of 18 ion adsorption deposits (lateritic soils) from Ambohimirahavavy alkaline province, North West Madagascar as part of NERC funded SoS RARE in 2016. Samples collected from...

African Legacy Geoscience Data for Geothermal Exploration - East Africa, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Kenya (NERC Grant NE/X006255/1)

Digitized GIS geological and geochemical datasets taken from maps and reports as part of BGS Overseas Development Research in 1980-90s.

Water isotope data from Yaal Chac (lake), nearby groundwater and local precipitation (NERC grant NE/K00610X/1)

Surface waters and shallow groundwater samples were collected by completely filling 30 mL polyethylene bottles, which were then sealed with electrical tape to minimise the risk of evaporative loss....

Two-phase modeling of water partitioning between liquid iron and silicate melt (NERC Grant NE/S01134X/1)

The two-phase modeling of water between liquid iron and silicate melt at 50 and 135 gigapascals (corresponding to 3500 and 4200 kelvin) was performed by using ab initio molecular dynamics...

Free energy calculations of noble-gas containing liquid iron and silicate melt (NERC Grant NE/S01134X/1)

Free energy calculations of noble-gas containing liquid iron and silicate melts at 50 GPa (3500 K) and 135 GPa (4200 K). The chemical potentials of noble gases can be obtained from these...

Permeability, XRD, and mercury intrusion data, and SEM backscatter images from samples of the Cropwell Bridge (Cropwell Bishop) borehole

This data repository contains all raw data files for permeability measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, high resolution SEM backscatter images and mercury intrusion data files for core...

Radiocarbon dating of Sus scrofa (pig) remains from archaeological sites in the Philippines and Pacific Islands

This data set contains information on the age of Sus scrofa (pig) bones and teeth from archaeological sites in the Philippines and the Pacific Islands as estimated by AMS radiocarbon dating....

Mississippian Bowland Shale dataset: from Hind Clough, Marl Hill 4 (MHD4) and Cominco S9 (Craven Basin, UK). Iron Speciation, total organic carbon and selected major and trace element geochemical data (NERC grant NE/L002493/1)

This dataset was acquired as part of a NERC-funded Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) PhD Studentship at the University of Leicester and British Geological Survey between 2014-2018 [grant no....

Multivariate life history phenotype of 56 Daphnia magna clones reared in four different environments (factorial cross of temperature x food)

[This dataset is embargoed until September 1, 2023]. This dataset contains information about the multivariate plastic life-history responses and thermal tolerance capability of 56 Daphnia magna...

Volcanic flank collapse: diversity of behaviour, hazard generation and controls on volcano evolution (NERC Grant NE/I02044X/2)

The data is provided as a single spreadsheet containing geochemical information from three volcanoes (Antuco, Chile; Jocotitlan, Mexico; Montserrat), all of which have been affected by major debris...

Azimuthal gathers for azimuthal Q analysis from JC152 cruise, North Sea 2017 (NERC Grant NE/S003347/1)

This is a subset of the seismic GI gun data recorded on the CHIMNEY JC152 cruise in 2017 (further information and nomenclature in Bull et al. 2018). Data were recorded on Ocean Bottom Seismic...
