A Database of Centrifuge Analogue Models Testing the Influence of Pre-Existing Weak Zones During Continental Compression

Wan, Xiaofan | Maestrelli, Daniele | Corti, Giacomo | Sani, Federico | Bonini, Marco | Ge, Xiang | Lei, Qingqing | Zou, Yaoyao | Shen, Chuanbo

2025

This dataset presents the raw data of an experimental series of centrifuge models performed to test the influence of pre-existing weak zones in the lower crust (herein after referred to as Weak Lower Crust –WLC) during continental compression. We varied the width of the WLC, the dip of the...

Results from analogue inversion experiments of inherited structures controlling deformation and uplift with implications for the European eastern Southern Alps

Sieberer, Anna-Katharina | Willingshofer, Ernst | Klotz, Thomas | Ortner, Hugo | Pomella, Hannah

2025

This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 4 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. The experiments have been designed to allow...

∂13C data of picrite rock samples from St Helena Island (South Atlantic Ocean)

Sandoval Velasquez, Andres Libardo | Aiuppa, Alessandro | Rizzo, Andrea Luca | Romano, Pierangelo | Taracsák, Zoltán

2025

This dataset includes ∂¹³C data of fluid inclusions hosted in lavas from St Helena. St Helena, a small volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, represents one of the classic examples of ocean island basalt (OIB) volcanism associated with intraplate mantle plumes. Although the island is...

The noble gas isotopic composition of the upper mantle in non-arc oceanic settings: Inferences from fluid inclusion studies

Sandoval-Velasquez, Andres | Taracsák, Zoltán | Aiuppa, Alessandro | Rizzo, Andrea Luca | Romano, Pierangelo | Jackson, Matthew G

2025

OIB localities (e.g., Tristan, Samoa) have been considered ideal natural laboratories for studying mantle heterogeneity. Indeed, Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes of lavas collected from OIB systems have provided insights into the existence of distinct mantle reservoirs, the origins of which are...

Rheological tests of viscous material mixtures used as lithosphere analogues

Guillaume, Benjamin | Brizzi, Silvia | Funiciello, Francesca

2025

This dataset contains rheological and density measurements of viscous material mixtures used to simulate the lithosphere in analogue modeling of tectonic processes. Simulating lithospheric deformation occurring in nature over geological time scales requires appropriately scaled materials for...

High resolution age model from sedimentary collected along the southwestern Svalbard margin

Caricchi, Chiara | Sagnotti , Leonardo | Lucchi , Renata Giulia

2026

This dataset includes updated versions of high-resolution age models derived from six sedimentary cores collected from the southwestern Svalbard margin. The dataset presented here represents a refinement of a previous version (Caricchi et al., 2020; 2022), achieved through correlation of the...

Noble Gas Isotopic Composition from Geothermal Springs of the North-Western Himalaya

Choudhary, Shubham | Thakur, Mahesh

2025

This dataset contains noble gas (He, Ne, Ar) isotopic and elemental compositions of geothermal spring fluids collected across the North-Western Himalaya as part of the “Himalayan Geothermal Project: Investigating Geothermal Systems in the North Western Himalaya – Origin and Tectonic Influence”....

New and compiled palaeomagnetic data from western Ross Sea (Antarctica) spanning the last ca. 10 ka

Sagnotti, Leonardo | Caricchi, Chiara | Macri, Patrizia | Colizza, Ester | Del Carlo, Paola | Di Roberto, Alessio | Winkler, Aldo

2025

This dataset includes both original and previously published paleomagnetic data. The new data refer to a marine sediment sequence (ANTA02-AV43 core) collected in the in Wood Bay, located along the coast of Victoria Land, within the western Ross Sea (Antarctica) and spanning the last ca. 10...

Digital Elevation Models and Time-Lapse Imagery from Analogue Experiments on the Interaction between Magma Injection and Rainfall-Driven Surface Processes

Lanari, Riccardo | Moumeni, Mohammad | Reitano, Riccardo

2026

This dataset documents a series of analogue experiments designed to investigate the coupled evolution of magma-driven surface uplift and rainfall-driven geomorphic processes. Seven controlled laboratory experiments were conducted, each combining shallow intrusion of a magma analogue with...

Carbon isotopes in OIB Mantle source

Lo Forte, Francesco Maria | Rizzo, Andrea Luca | Aiuppa, Alessandro | Sandoval Velasquez, Andres Libardo | Romano, Pierangelo | Maffeis, Andrea | Frezzotti, Maria Luce | Casetta, Federico | Ntaflos, Theodoros

2026

The Atlantic Ocean hosts a number of intraplate volcanic islands that provide crucial information on mantle plume dynamics, volatile budgets, and the role of recycled components in the deep Earth. Among these islands, Sal (Cape Verde archipelago) and Madeira represent contrasting examples of...
