Mechanical data from laboratory rock physics characterisation and deformation experiments on Westerly granite and Darley Dale sandstone (NERC Grant NE/K009656/1)

Data recorded during hydrostatic pressurisation and triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite and Darley Dale sandstone. Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement,...

The BGS Rock Classification Scheme

The BGS Rock Classification Scheme (RCS) is a comprehensive classification scheme for all types of rocks and unconsolidated sediments worldwide. It is intended to be used for classification of...

Hot Dry Rocks - Scotland

Hot dry rocks are a potential source of geothermal energy. In Scotland they are likely to exist as buried high heat production granites. Alongside other data from the Scotland Heat Map, information...

Mechanical data from laboratory shear failure experiments of fluid saturated Westerly granite (NERC Grant NE/S000852/1)

Data recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite in the presence of pressurised pore fluids (water). Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement, confining...

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where...

2016 Keith Hiscock Lundy Intertidal Survey of Gannet's Rock

Keith Hiscock, Sarah Fowler, Greg Lingard, and Esther Hughes surveyed the granite boulder intertidal community at Gannet's Rock, Lundy. The aim of the survey was to re-survey the place where...

Uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating of the Wensleydale Granite, Yorkshire Dales, UK

We undertook U-Pb analysis - both high precision ID-TIMS and high spatial resolution LA-MC-ICP-MS – to determine the age of the Wensleydale Granite. This was done in order to resolve the ambiguity...

Ultrasonic and mechanical data from laboratory shear failure experiments in fluid saturated Westerly granite (NERC Grant NE/S000852/1)

Data recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments of Westerly granite in the presence of pressurised pore fluids (water). Data consists of mechanical data (load, displacement, confining...

Data (ultrasonic, mechanical) and microstructures of shear failure in Lanhelin granite under upper crustal conditions (NERC Grant NE/M004716/1)

Data has been recorded during triaxial rock deformation experiments where Lanhelin granite samples were subjected to dynamic and half-controlled shear failure. The data consists of mechanical data...

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...

Granite lineament data, Land's End and immediate adjacent offshore area

Lineaments from the Land's End Granite, and immediately adjacent offshore areas, derived from the analysis of LiDAR, bathymetry and aerial photography as detailed in the publication: Yeomans, C.M.,...

Numerical modelling of fracture intensity increase due to interacting blast waves in three-dimensional granitic rocks

This work presents a detailed three-dimensional finite element based model for wave propagation, combined with a postprocessing procedure to determine the fracture intensity caused by blasting. The...

Data of a controlled rupture experiment under triaxial conditions of Lanhelin granite, and acoustic data recorded for laboratory-scale seismic tomography. (NERC grant NE/M004716/1)

This data has been recorded during a triaxial rock deformation experiment where a Lanhelin granite samples was subjected to controlled shear failure. The data consists of mechanical data (load,...

GeoSure Soluble Rocks

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...

Geochemical characterisation of San Andreas Fault damage zone rock at Lake Hughes and Littlerock localities

Geochemical and petrophysical data acquired on intact and damage zone rock samples for two localities along the San Andreas Fault, Mojave section. Data used in the publication entitled "Chemically...

GeoSure soluble rocks version 8

This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for dissolution within a geological deposit. Ground dissolution occurs when certain types of rock contain layers of material that may dissolve...
