Sedimentological data (foraminifera, wet bulk density and magnetic susceptibility) for core LC7 sediment record from Blaso, a large, epishelf lake in NW Greenland collected July-August 2017

Smith, James A. | Callard, Louise | Sánchez Montes, Maria Luisa | McClymont, Erin L. | Lloyd, Jeremy M. | Ehrmann, Werner | Roberts, David | Bentley, Michael J. | Jamieson, Stewart S. R. | Lane, Timothy P. | Darvill, Christopher M.

2022

The dataset comprises multi-proxy analyses of a sediment core (LC7) extracted from Blaso, a large epishelf lake on the margin of 79 ° N Ice Shelf, NW Greenland in July-August 2017. The data are used to constrain ice shelf dynamics over the last 8500 calibrated years before present (cal. years...

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

Pashley, Vanessa | Thomas, Chris | Tapster, Simon

2021

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 surrounding an earlier (1974) Rb/Sr age determination.

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

Cartwright-Taylor, Alexis | Butler, Ian B | Fusseis, Florian | Ling, Martin | Andò, Edward | Mangriotis, Maria-Daphne | Main, Ian G | Rizzo, Roberto E | Marti, Sina | Leung, Derek D | Magdysyuk, Oxana V

2022

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 simultaneous acoustic measurements and x-ray tomography imaging. It comprises a time-series of 3D in-situ...

A combined field and laboratory study of microplastic uptake by the Snakelocks Anemone (<em>Anemonia viridis</em>), 2020.

Savage, Georgina | Porter, Adam | Simpson, Stephen

2022

This dataset contains the results from a combined field and laboratory study of microplastic uptake by the Snakelocks Anemone (Anemonia viridis). In October 2020, 48 anemones were collected at low tide by hand from Corbyn Head, Torquay, South Devon UK. A further 40 capture-bred anemones where...
