Upper mantle anisotropy models from mantle circulation simulations

Wookey, James | Altoé, Isabella | Walker, Andrew | Nowacki, Andy | Ferreira, Ana | Panton, James | Davies, J Huw

2026

A set of global upper mantle anisotropy models generated from TERRA plate-motion constrained mantle circulation models run under different conditions. Provided calculations include upper mantle anisotropy parameterised in both original triclinic symmetry and a reduced radial symmetry.

Rheological studies of MORB, San Carlos olivine and CF phase in transition zone and lower mantle

Dobson, David | Xu, Fang

2026

This dataset contains results of experiments to measure the relative strength of mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) and hartzbergite at pressures of the transition zone and lower mantle, along with the absolute rheology of the CF (calcium ferrite-type) phase under lower mantle conditions....

The geochemical composition and stratigraphic position of 44 tephra layers in southern Iceland

Cutler, N. | Dugmore, A. | Streeter, R.

2025

The dataset comprises two elements: 1) logs of nine sedimentary profiles recorded in three locations in southern Iceland and 2) geochemical analyses of tephra samples taken from these profiles. The three locations were Heimaey (V), an island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago (four...

Rhenium isotopic and geochemical characterisation across lithospheric and surface processes across four global regions, 2019-2024

Hilton, R. | Dickson, A. | Dellinger, M. | Stow, M. | Wang, W. | Prytulak, J. | Nowell, G.

2025

The data resource collates novel measurements of the rhenium isotope geochemistry of various materials measured between 2019 and 2024. The data were collected as part of NERC funded research (NE/T001119) aiming to constrain the behavior of the rhenium isotope system at Earth's surface....
