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.

Trans-African Regional Geo-data for the Energy Transition (TARGET) model

Jones, Darren J.R.

2022

A geographic information system (GIS) containing geo-data for the energy transition across continental Africa created by extracting data from open sources into a series of shapefiles and rasters containing information on culture, geology, geothermal and geophysical data. This data is stored...

1/12 degree Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model of the Southern Ocean: JRA55-do with absolute wind stress experiment (1988 - 2007)

Munday, David | Zhai, Xiaoming

2021

The dataset is a 20 year experiment using a NEMO-based 1/12 degree grid spacing model of the Southern Ocean as part of the ORCHESTRA (Ocean Regulation of Climate by Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports) LTS-M project. It uses the NEMO "extended" grid, although ice cavities are closed....

1/12 degree Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model of the Southern Ocean: CORE2 normal year forced control run (1951-1987)

Munday, David | Harle, James | Nurser, A J George | Coward, Andrew

2021

The dataset is a 37 year control run of a NEMO-based 1/12 degree grid spacing model of the Southern Ocean as part of the ORCHESTRA LTS-M project. It uses the NEMO "extended" grid, although ice cavities are closed. The model was run on Archer, the national HPC platform. The dataset covers the...

Electron backscatter diffraction data and sample analysis from the Nusfjord Shear Zone, Lofoten, Norway

Campbell, Lucy | Menegon, Luca

2021

Field and microstructural analysis of pseudotachylytes formed at lower crustal depths and now lying exposed in the Flakstadøy Anorthosite, Lofoten, Norway. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis: 10 EBSD datasets (cpr files) - unfiltered. These characterise deformation in pyroxenes...
