Supplement to "Work optimization predicts accretionary faulting: An integration of physical and numerical experiments"

Souloumiac, Pauline | Maillot, Bertrand | Herbert, Justin W. | McBeck, Jessica A. | Cooke, Michele L.

2017

The data set includes photos, force measurements, and incremental displacement fields captured in experiment E240 run at the physical modeling laboratory (GEC) at the Université de Cergy-Pontoise. We built the accretionary wedge using a novel sedimentation device [Maillot, 2013] that...

Rheometric measurements of salted type A gelatins

Brizzi, Silvia | Funiciello, Francesca | Corbi, Fabio | Di Giuseppe, Erika | Mojoli, Giorgio

2017

Gelatin is a versatile material commonly used in analogue modelling because of its complex rheology, which allows simulating a wide range of tectonic processes requiring either elastic (e.g., dyke intrusions models) and viscoelastic behavior (e.g., analog earthquakes models). Salt (NaCl) is...

Centrifuge models investigating the influence of transverse pre-existing weaknesses on continental rifting

Corti, Giacomo | Sordi, Riccardo | Cucci, Federica

2018

We present the results of centrifuge experiments investigating the role of preexisting crustal discontinuity on continental rifting. Specifically, we reproduce inherited weaknesses, orthogonal to the rift trend and parallel to the extension direction, and analyze their influence on the...

Magnetic susceptibility and thin sections data from the the Alftafjordur volcanic system in Eastern Iceland

Trippanera, Daniele | Urbani, Stefano | Kissel, Catherine | Winkler, Aldo | Sagnotti, Leonardo | Nazzareni, Sabrina | Acocella, Valerio | Porreca, Massimiliano

2020

This dataset contains supplementary materials to the manuscripts “Interpreting inverse magnetic fabric in Miocene dikes from Eastern Iceland” by Trippanera et al., (submitted to JGR) and “Anatomy of an extinct magmatic system along a divergent plate boundary: Alftafjordur, Iceland” by Urbani et...

Acoustic emission source parameters of laboratory triaxial stick-slip experiments on two Westerly granite samples

Blanke, Aglaja | Goebel, Thomas | Kwiatek, Grzegorz

2020

These data are supplementary to the GJI research article of Blanke et al. 2020, in which static stress drop estimates of laboratory acoustic emission (AE) waveform records were analyzed. Stick-slip experiments were conducted on two triaxial loaded Westerly Granite samples of different...

Paleomagnetic data of the Balzes Anticline

Rodríguez-Pintó, Adriana | Pueyo, Emilio L. | Sánchez, Elisa

2020

This dataset is built from data published in two different articles (Rodríguez-Pintó et al. 2012 and 2016). The main scientific goal described in the articles is the quantification of vertical axis rotations (VAR) around the bended axis of the Balzes anticline in the South Pyrenean frontal...

Experimental data of analogue models of subduction investigating the interplays between mantle flow and slab pull

Guillaume, Benjamin | Funiciello, Francesca | Faccenna, Claudio

2021

This dataset includes images depicting the evolution in map view and lateral view of 7 analogue experiments of subduction to better understand the interplays between slab pull and mantle flow at subduction zones. The experiments are performed under a natural gravity field and are designed to...

Ash generation of volcanic lapilli during rotary tumbling

Hornby, Adrian | Küppers, Ulrich | Maurer, Benedikt M. | Poetsch, Carina | Dingwell, Donald B.

2020

Data supporting the publication Hornby, AJ, Kueppers U, Maurer BM, Poetsch C and Dingwell DB (2020) "Experimental constraints on volcanic ash generation and clast morphometrics in pyroclastic density currents and granular flows". In this study, fine ash is generated from lapilli-sized...

Host Rock Variability Powers the Diversity of Steam-Driven Eruptions

Montanaro, Cristian | Cronin, Shane J. | Scheu , Bettina Scheu | Kennedy, Ben | Scott, Bradley J. | Dingwell, Donald B.

2020

Steam-driven eruptions are explosions that frequently occur in volcanic and geothermal areas. They are powered by the sudden release and expansion of steam and liquid water trapped under high pressure within the pore spaces of host rocks. We have experimentally studied how the strength of...

Experimental data of analogue landscape evolution models

Reitano, Riccardo | Faccenna, Claudio | Funiciello, Francesca | Corbi, Fabio | Willett, Sean D.

2020

This dataset includes raw data used in the paper by Reitano et al. (2020), focused on the effect of different analogue materials on the mechanical and erosional properties of some defined samples. The samples are mixes of three different analogue materials in various proportions. The...
