Ring shear test data of glass beads 40-70 µm used for analogue experiments in the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling (HelTec) at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam

Pohlenz, Andre | Rudolf, Michael | Kemnitz, Helga | Rosenau, Matthias

2020

This dataset provides friction data from ring-shear tests (RST) on glass beads used in the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling (HelTec) at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam as an analogue for “weak” brittle layers in the crust or lithosphere (Ritter et al., 2016;...

Mechanical data of simulated basalt-built faults from rotary shear and direct shear experiments

Giacomel, Piercarlo | Ruggieri, Roberta | Scuderi, Marco M. | Spagnuolo, Elena | Di Toro, Giulio | Collettini, Cristiano

2021

Here we report the raw data of the friction experiments carried out on basalt-built simulated faults defined by rock-on-rock contacts and powdered gouge. The experiments were specifically designed to investigate the role of fault microstructure on the frictional properties of basalts and the...

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...

Paleo- and rock magnetic data from cores MSM33-53-1, M72-5-22GC4, M72-5-25GC1 from the southeastern Black Sea

Nowaczyk, Norbert R. | Liu, Jiabo | Arz, Helge W.

2020

This data publication includes paleo and rock magnetic data from three sediment cores, MSM33-53-1, M72-5-22GC4, M72-5-25GC1, collected in the southeastern Black Sea during the marine expeditions M72/5 of the German research vessel RV METEOR (in 2007) and MSM33 of the German research vessel RV...

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...

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...

Seismic properties and mineralogy of core samples from the COSC-1 borehole, Sweden

Kästner, Felix | Wenning, Quinn | Zappone, Alba | Madonna, Claudio | Morales, Luiz F.G. | Pierdominici, Simona | Berndt, Christian | Schleicher, Anja M. | Wilke, Franziska D.H.

2021

Core samples have been taken for complementary laboratory seismic measurements and mineralogical analyses on whole rock core from the COSC-1 borehole, Sweden (UTM 63.3124, 13.5259). These samples were used to provide and characterize the seismic properties (i.e., seismic velocities and...

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...

RST Evaluation - Scripts for analysing shear experiments from the Schulze RST.pc01 ring shear tester

Rudolf, Michael | Warsitzka, Michael

2021

The software RST Evaluation is a series of scripts to semi-automatically evaluate shear experiments done at the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling. In principle, it may be used for other measurements done in a similar setup, but it was build with our standardized workflow in mind....

Rock magnetic data from sediments from the Arkhangelsky Ridge, SE Black Sea, II - cores from expedition MSM33, German RV Maria S. Merian, 2013

Nowaczyk, Norbert R. | Liu, Jiabo | Arz, Helge W.

2021

This data publication includes standard rock magnetic data related to concentration, coercivity and magneto-mineralogy versus depth from twelve sediment cores recovered from the Arkhangelsky Ridge in the Southeastern Black Sea, German RV Maria S. Merian expedition MSM33 in 2013: MSM33-51-3,...
