Pan-European map showing relative suitability score for Pile foundations translated from EMODnet Bathymetry water depth (offshore wind)

Pan-European water depth suitability map, derived from EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network) Bathymetry data, showing the relative suitability for offshore wind pile foundations. The relative scoring system is from 0 (null) and 1 to 5 (i.e., high to low suitability, respectively), resulting in regional water depth suitability map for pile foundations. Null values represent hexagons that extended too far inland (e.g. estuaries) and thus don’t overlay the bathymetry map, however are kept in for information. A score of 5 (low suitability) is given to values >=0 and over 80 m. A score of 3 is given to 60-80 m. A score of 2 (higher suitability) is given to 10-50 m. The scoring system is a relative suitability scale, defined by BGS (2014), a commercial project undertaken with The Crown Estate. The original water depth (EMODnet Bathymetry) data has been translated into Hex maps due to the various data resolutions of the bathymetry datasets. Hex maps permit spatial screening of suitable license areas over vast areas and provides the end-user with an understanding to the level of uncertainty regarding the final maps. This pan-European digital GIS product is produced by the British Geological Survey (BGS) and forms part of a series of maps that define domain parameters related to marine geotechnical conditions, focusing on water depth and suitability for foundation installation. Water depth is a critical parameter influencing the selection and design of foundation systems for offshore infrastructure. Water Depth is a domain-type to support early-stage site assessment, engineering design constraints and risk evaluation processes in offshore development projects. The data is useful for marine spatial planners, wind farm developers, and research institutions who would like to understand the suitability of different foundation types for various water depths at a regional scale.

3D ocean bottom node seismic data across the 13°30'N Oceanic Core Complex and the Semenov Hydrothermal Field region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (JC254, 2023)

The dataset contains 3D wide-angle seismic data from 18 ocean bottom nodes (OBXs) collected during RRS James Cook cruise JC254 in November 2023. The data were acquired at the 1330 Oceanic Core Complex and the Semenov Hydrothermal Field region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 13°30'N, and were shot in six sequences (SEM4A to SEM4F), along 15 profiles in total. Two GI-guns were used as seismic sources, each with a total volume of 355 cubic inches (250 cu. inch generator, 105 cu. inch injector chamber. The data were recorded at a sampling rate of 2000 Hz, with a shot interval of 20 s at a ship speed of 4 knots, resulting in shot interval of ~30 m, with no stop during profile turns. The data are provided in raw SEGY format, cut into four components (three geophone channels and one hydrophone channel). This dataset was collected to derive a seismic velocity structure of the 13°30'N Oceanic Core Complex (OCC). The aim was to investigate the crustal or mantle lithologies in the 13°30'N OCC and to understand the interplay between tectonic faulting, magmatism, alteration and hydrothermal circulation at the ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal systems along slow-spreading ridges. The data were collected as part of a NERC-funded strategic research project called 'Ultramafic-hosted mineral Resource Assessment (ULTRA)', grant reference NE/S004068/1. The data were processed and interpreted as part of a PhD studentship hosted by the University of Southampton, awarded to Szu-Ying Lai, and funded by Equinor A.S, Norway.

Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA) of tooth surfaces of fossil wolves from Britain and modern wolves from Poland version 2

Two Excel workbooks reporting dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) raw data. These are values from scale-sensitive fractal analysis (SSFA), and areal surface texture analysis (based on a suite of parameters, most of which are defined by ISO-25718-2) for dental microwear texture analysis of tooth surfaces of wolves from Britain (MIS Se & MIS 7 a-c) and modern Poland wolves. This study examines the dietary adaptability of European grey wolves using dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA). These datasets offer new insights into the palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental conditions under which grey wolves endured climate change in the past, free of anthropogenic influence. They further allow the identification of hitherto-hidden ecological stress today, thereby highlighting potential vulnerabilities in modern populations under current and future climate change. Tooth surface casts were produced using high-resolution, which is optimised for imaging purposes. Epoxy tooth replicas were scanned with a Sensofar S neox. MountainsMap Imaging Topography was utilised to quantify dental microwear texture parameters from Sensofar scans.

Data for glass sintering during dehydration (loss of water recorded by mass loss)

This dataset contains experimental data supporting Vasseur et al. (2023) https://doi.org/10.1111/jace.19120, which investigates the process of glass sintering during dehydration. The experiments were conducted in 2022 at LMU (Munich, Germany) . The samples were synthetic and so were not collected at any given site but were created in the laboratory. For each experiment presented, a sample of glass powder was hydrated by exposing it to a hydrous (H2O) atmosphere at high temperature (600-700 C) for a number of hours. The glass particles were then hydrated, and this fact was checked by looking for a relative mass loss if the same powder was returned to high temperature but under a non-hydrous atmosphere; indeed, mass loss occurred as the water left the particles again. That mass loss was measured and the kinetics of mass loss were analysed. The data demonstrate that there is a quantifiable competition between the rate at which water will move into or out of particles and the rate at which particles will sinter together. This same competition is relevant to volcanic eruptions and has knock-on implications for the evolution of permeability of magmas, which is a prominent area of study for this grant. These data were collected by F. Wadsworth, analysed by J. Vasseur, and the paper was both facilitated by and written by Y. Lavallée and D. B. Dingwell. All authors were responsible for the output of the data.

Compaction data of loose volcanic fragments under dynamic loading and static conditions

These data contain 1) load string compliance mechanical data used to retrieve the absolute sample deformation (Compliance folder); 2) Acoustic emissions data (RawData_AEs folder); 3) Compaction data of the granular packs (RawData_Press folder). These data we used for the publication by Zorn et al., 2024 (https://doi.org/10.30909/vol.07.02.765783). A PDF document detailing further information of the contents of each folder entitled "Zorn_Compaction_Data_Overview" is provided. All data were collected and analysed at LMU Munich on samples from the Eifel Volcanic Field (Germany) and from the Krafla caldera (Iceland). The geographical location of the samples collected is of no relevance to this study, as the samples were selected for their physical attributes. All data were collected and analysed in 2023 and 2024. Loose fragments of volcanic rock from the Eifel Volcanic Field or Krafla caldera were placed in a metal cup and progressively loaded axially to a target load before either 1) removing the load (called "dynamic stressing tests"); or 2) holding the load for 6h or 5 days (called "dynamic followed by static tests"). All experiments were conducted using an Instron uniaxial press, and all displacement data are corrected for the deformation of the loading column (compliance). During each experiment, acoustic emissions sensors attached to the side of the cup to monitor cracking events These data were collected to understand the compaction behaviour of volcanic edifices that consist of interbedded layers of variably loose/coherent materials.

Sample characteristics of foaming volcanic glass cylinders

These data present volume estimates from images (using the solid of revolution method from the cross-sectional area) of clasts expanding during vesiculation at high temperature. The data also contain clast interior volume estimates without the dense rind around the clasts (formed by diffusive outgassing, and estimated through time),l which is is calculated in Matlab. The methods are provided in more detail in Weaver et al., 2022. These data contain sample measurements (surface area), total clast volume calculation (using solid of revolution from clast cross-sectional area), degassed skin area (using imerode in Matlab and the diffusion data provided in the table) and skin volume (solid of revolution from skin surface area), and core surface area and volume from the difference between total clast and skin volumes/skin area. All data are presented in Weaver et al., 2022 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2022.107550), where further details of the methods can also be found. All data were collected and analysed at the University of Liverpool using clasts from Hrafntinnuhryggur, Iceland. The geographical location of the samples collected is of no relevance to this study, as the samples were selected for their physical attributes. All data were collected and analysed throughout 2021 and 2022. Volcanic glass cylinders of different starting sizes were placed in a furnace at high temperature (1006 oC). Two furnaces were used, either a tube furnace with open ends to allow imaging of the sample silhouette, or a box furnace with a sapphire window to allow imaging of the sample as vesiculation takes place. Cross-sectional areas are then converted to volumes using solid of revolution as vesiculation is isotropic. Diffusion modelling is used to quantify the development of the fully degassed rind around the sample and used to estimate the rind volume through imerode in Matlab and solid of revolution. Total clast, core and rind volumes are thus able to be retrieved. As magmas approach the surface of the Earth, volatile saturation in the melt decreases, which results in volatile exsolution in vesicles (vesiculation) and outgassing. The interplay between the amount of vesicles trapped in the melt and those that diffusively outgas from the surface is dependent on the volume to surface area ratio. Understanding the kinetics of outgassing and vesiculation is key to understand pressure build-up in magmatic conduits and effusive-explosive transitions at volcanoes.

Data for the viscous flow rheology of samples containing both crystals and melt.

These datasets are for samples collected from Volcan de Colima (Mexico) which is at coordinates: 19°30’46" N 103°37’02" W / 19.512727°N 103.617241°W. This volcano erupts magmas that are crystal-bearing, making those cooled volcanic rocks ideal for experimentation. And so samples were cored from blocks from that volcano and those cores were then returned to high temperatures (up to 1000 C) and then deformed under controlled stresses. These data form the central part of this publication: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2024.108198. The deformation experiments were performed at LMU (Munich, Germany). The volcano coordinates from which the samples were collected are given above. The samples were deformed in a high temperature hydraulic press equipped with acoustic emission sensors. This is the ideal device for determining the behaviour of the magmas from Volcan de Colima under the same stresses and temperatures at which they were erupted. The data give key clues as to the modes of flow behaviour of the magma in volcanoes. This work provides generalised insights into magma flow behaviour.
