Supplementary material for analogue experiments on the impact of the lithosphere on dynamic topography

Sembroni, Andrea | Kiraly, Agnes | Faccenna, Claudio | Funiciello, Francesca | Becker, Thorsten W. | Globig, Jan | Fernandez, Manuel

2017

We present videos and figures from 22 scaled analogue models used to investigate the interactions between a density anomaly rising in the mantle and the lithosphere in a Newtonian system. The experimental setup consists of a two layers viscous lithosphere-upper mantle system obtained by...

Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C

Verberne, Berend Antonie | Chen, Jianye | Pennock, Gillian

2017

The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening ductile flow. However, the mechanisms controlling this transition, and relevant to earthquake nucleation, remain...

Friction data of simulated fault gouges derived from the Groningen gas field

Hunfeld, Luuk | Niemeijer, André | Spiers, Christopher

2017

We investigated the frictional properties of simulated fault gouges derived from the main lithologies present in the seismogenic Groningen gas field (NE Netherlands), employing in-situ P-T conditions and varying pore fluid salinity. Direct shear experiments were performed on gouges prepared...

Experimental and model data of aggregate compaction by pressure solution

van den Ende, Martijn

2017

Intergranular pressure solution creep is an important deformation mechanism in the Earth’s crust. The phenomenon has been frequently studied and several analytical models have been proposed that describe its constitutive behavior. These models require assumptions regarding the geometry of the...

Supplement to: Growing Faults in the Lab: Insights into the Scale Dependence of the Fault Zone Evolution Process

Ritter, Malte C. | Rosenau, Matthias | Oncken, Onno

2017

This dataset is supplementary material to the article of Ritter et al. (2017). In this article, the similarity of fault propagation work in analogue sandbox experiments to natural fault networks is investigated through measurements in a strike-slip sandbox and in a ring-shear-tester. The...

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...

Laboratory model data from experiments on fragmenting analogue rock avalanches

Haug, Øystein Thorden | Rosenau, Matthias | Rudolf, Michael | Leever, Karen | Oncken, Onno

2021

This data set includes various laboratory model data derived from analogue rock avalanche experiments on the role of fragmentation on runout behavior. Detailed descriptions of the experiments and monitoring and analysis techniques can be found in Haug et al. (submitted) to which this data set...

Mechanical and microstructural data used in the article Pijnenburg et al., Deformation behaviour of sandstones from the seismogenic Groningen gas field: Role of inelastic versus elastic mechanisms

Pijnenburg, Ronald | Verberne, Berend Antonie | Hangx, Suzanne | Spiers, Christopher

2018

Hydrocarbon or groundwater production from sandstone reservoirs can result in surface subsidence and induced seismicity. Subsidence results from combined elastic and inelastic compaction of the reservoir due to a change in the effective stress state upon fluid extraction. The magnitude of...

Dataset of Physical and Transport Property Variations Within the Carbonate-Bearing Fault Zones of the Monte Maggio Fault (Central Italy)

Trippetta, Fabio | Carpenter, Brett M | Mollo, Silvio | Scuderi, Marco M. | Scarlato, Piergiorgio | Collettini, Cristiano

2017

Here we report the raw data of the physical properties of carbonate samples collected along the Monte Maggio normal Fault (MMF), a regional structure (length ~10 km and displacement ~500 m) located within the active system of the Apennines (Italy). In particular, we report results coming from...

Velocity-dependent slip weakening by the combined operation of pressure solution and foliation development

Niemeijer, Andre

2018

Phyllosilicate-bearing faults are characterized by an anastomosing foliation with intervening hard clasts and are believed to be long-term weak structures. Here, I present results of sliding experiments on gouges of 80 wt% quartz and 20 wt% muscovite, sheared under hydrothermal conditions at...
