McNamara, David | University of Liverpool SEM Shared Research Facility (SEM SRF)

2024

This data comprises various transmitted and reflected light microscopy images, scanning electron imagery, chemical mapping (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), and crystallographic mapping (electron backscatter diffraction) of basalt samples. Basalt cores were taken from the Reykjanes...

Rheometric data for suspensions of bubbles and/or particles in a Newtonian suspending liquid

Llewellin, Edward W | Allgood, Ceri | Drignon, Méllisa

2024

Rheometric data for suspensions of bubbles and/or particles in a Newtonian suspending liquid. Experimental suspensions are intended as analogues for multiphase magma and lava (containing volatile bubbles and solid crystals). The dataset comprises data collected using a Anton Paar MCR702...

Microplastics in sediments of the River Thames Basin, UK

Horton, A.A. | Svendsen, C. | Williams, R. | Spurgeon, D. | Lahive, E.

2017

This dataset provides numbers and types of plastic particles extracted from sediment samples of three tributaries of the river Thames: the River Leach, the River Lambourn and The Cut. These rivers are regularly monitored for a range of water quality and biological characteristics as part of the...

Geochemistry and grain size of terrestrial sediments collected across a stream network, Swineshaw Moor, UK, 2018

Warburton, J.

2023

This dataset contains details of sediment geochemistry, loss-on-ignition and sediment median particle size for terrestrial sediment samples collected across the stream network of Harehill and Swineshaw Moors, Stalybridge, Tameside, Manchester. Samples were collected on three occasions in 2018...

Effect of porosity and clays on geophysical and transport properties of sandstone exposed to CO2 injection: Influence of rock heterogeneities on CO2 storage monitoring

Falcon-Suarez, Ismael | Mondol, Nazmul Haque

2024

This dataset gathers the data collected during a brine:CO2 flow-through experiments conducted on three sandstones with similar mineralogical compositions (major minerals) but different porosity, clay-size fraction and clay mineralogy. The aim was to study the effect of such heterogeneities on...

210Pb-dated historical lake sediment metal concentrations from The Lake District, England (mid-19th century to 2016)

Turner, S.D. | Yang, H. | Rose, N.L. | Shilland, J. | Bennion, H. | Jones, V. | Sayer, C. | Baker, A. | Roberts, C. | Bishop, I.

2022

Measurements of sediment properties (incl. organic and carbonate content), radionuclides (210Pb, 137Cs, 241Am) and elements (including mercury, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead) in lake sediment successions. Radionuclide dating provides a reliable chronology of sediment ages from the mid-19th...

Triaxial compressive strength tests on 'Comiso' Limestone (Ragusa Formation; Sicily, Italy) samples

Castagna, Angela | Fazio, Marco | Benson, Philip M | Vinciguerra, Sergio | Walker, Richard | Ougier-Simonin, Audrey

2023

This dataset contains raw experimental triaxial testing data as outlined in "Castagna, A., Ougier‐Simonin, A., Benson, P. M., Browning, J., Walker, R. J., Fazio, M., & Vinciguerra, S. (2018). Thermal damage and pore pressure effects of the Brittle‐Ductile transition in Comiso limestone....

Filter pack and cascade impactor samples of gas and aerosol particulate matter on the Island of Hawai'i (2018, 2019)

Ilyinskaya, Evgenia | Mason, Emily | Wieser, Penny | Liu, Emma | Whitty, Rachel

2021

This dataset reports chemical speciation of airborne gas and aerosol particulate matter (PM) sampled in various locations on the Island of Hawai'i in 2018 and 2019. The 2018 samples were collected during a large eruption of Kilauea volcano. The 2019 samples were collected during a period of...

Natural radionuclide concentrations in soil, water, sediment and biota in England and Wales

Beresford, N.A. | Barnett, C.L. | Jones, D.G. | Wood, M.D. | Appleton, J.D. | Breward, N. | Copplestone, D.

2015

Data comprise estimates of activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides (40K, 238U and 232Th series radionuclides) in environmental media (soil and stream sediments and waters) and non-human biota (focusing on the ICRP Reference Animals and Plants). For soil, stream sediments...

Zircon U-Pb data for plutonic rocks from IODP Hole 1256D, eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean

Lissenberg, Johan | Condon, Daniel | Smye, Andrew | Anma, Ryo

2023

Zircon U-Pb data are presented for six plutonic rocks recovered from the Pacific oceanic crust (IODP Hole 1256D). These data constrain the age of the section, as well as the duration of crustal accretion. The data cover the bulk of the plutonic section recovered and were generated during...
