title: Data from the 1978-79 Rhenish Massif seismic refraction experiment

description: During 1978-79, a seismic refraction experiment was carried out in the Rhenish Massif, West Germany, and adjacent areas, extending through Belgium and Luxembourg into the Paris Basin in France. The experiment was designed to investigate the structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath the massif and thus help in a multidisciplinary study, sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, into the causes and mechanisms of uplift of the massif. The Aachen-Baumholder (L1/L2-M1/M2) profile was completed in May and August, 1978. The 600 km long, main profile and the cross profiles, B-K and K-F, were completed in May 1979. During the main experiment in May 1979, 137 recording units of the MARS type from various European countries participated. 20 shots were fired in 1979 and thus a total of 2740 three-component recordings were made.

title: Geophysical Imaging of Deep EarthShape (GIDES): Controlled source seismic data of Santa Gracia, Chile

description: The dataset contains the seismic weight drop data acquired in Private Reserve Santa Gracia, Chile. The data acquisition was conducted as a part of the EarthShape project in the subproject of Geophysical Imaging of the Deep EarthShape (GIDES). The seismic line was setup to cut across an existing borehole location with core and geophysical logging data available (Krone et al., 2021; Weckmann et al., 2020). The data was acquired to image the deep weathering zone identified by the borehole data across the seismic profile. Included in the datasets are the raw data of the CUBE data logger, SEG-Y data of the recorded shots, and the shot and receiver geometry data. 
 
A vital aspect of comprehending the interplay between geological and biological processes lies in the imaging of the critical zone, located deep beneath the surface, where the transition from unaltered bedrock to fragmented regolith occurs. It had been hypothesized that the depth of such weathering zone is dependent on the climate condition of the area. A more humid climate with higher precipitation will result in a deeper weathering front. As a part of the EarthShape project (SPP-1803 ‘EarthShape: Earth Surface Shaping by Biota’), specifically the Geophysical Imaging of the Deep EarthShape (GIDES - Grant No. KR 2073/5-1), we aim to image the weathering zone using the geophysical approach. Using the seismic method, we can differentiate different weathered layers based on the seismic velocity while also providing a 2D subsurface image of the critical zone. We conducted a seismic weight drop experiment in the Private Reserve Santa Gracia, Chile, to observe the depth of the weathering zone in a semi-arid climate and compare the resulting model with existing borehole data (Krone et al., 2021; Weckmann et al., 2020). The acquired data can then be used for multiple seismic imaging techniques, including body wave tomography and multichannel analysis of surface waves.
description: The DFG Priority Program 1803 "EarthShape - Earth Surface Shaping by Biota" (2016-2022; https://www.earthshape.net/) explored between scientific disciplines and includes geoscientists and biologists to study from different viewpoints the complex question how microorganisms, animals, and plants influence the shape and development of the Earth’s surface over time scales from the present-day to the young geologic past. All study sites are located in the north-to-south trending Coastal Cordillera mountains of Chile, South America. These sites span from the Atacama Desert in the north to the Araucaria forests approximately 1300 km to the south. The site selection contains a large ecological and climate gradient ranging from very dry to humid climate conditions.

title: Magnetotelluric exploration of Zn-Pb mineralization in Stonepark

description: To meet the objectives of the European Green Deal, Europe requires an increase in the supply of raw materials. To extract these materials responsibly and sustainably the complex social, environmental and technical challenges and how they interact need to be understood. The EU funded project VECTOR aims to assess these challenges and integrate them to produce human centred solutions. In this framework, minimally disruptive geological and geophysical studies have been carried out at three different locations across Europe. Stonepark is one of these locations located in the Irish Midlands in the Limerick Basin. The area includes potentially economic ore pods within Carboniferous carbonates and volcanic rocks. 
 
In Stonepark, new MT data were collected at a total of 108 sites in an area of 1.2 km x 5 km, of which 33 sites were equipped with five-component broad-band MT stations in concert with 75 two-component stations recording only the electric fields. The novel experimental layout using mobile electric field only stations sped up fieldwork while still allowing the use of local and remote reference techniques. Major goal of the study is to assess the utility MT techniques for mineral exploration at depth in sedimentary basins. In particular, we aim to quantify the 3D electrical conductivity distribution of the top 1–5 km of the crust from new MT data, in order to determine the location of electrically conductive ore mineralization.

title: Seismic investigations of clay pans in the Atacama Desert (N-Chile) (SEISCLAYPAN)

description: The data set was acquired in the framework of the CRC 1211 “Earth – Evolution at the dry limit” which aims to study continuous longterm (Quaternary-Miocene) paleoclimatic/environmental records from the hyperarid core of the Atacama desert / N Chile covering the last up to 10 Ma. As part of this project, three clay pans were investigated in the Coastal Cordillera (Huara 20° 4'32.75"S; 69°55'1.46"W; PAG: 21°32'27.39"S; 69°54'47.21"W; Paranal 24°29'20.53"S; 70° 8'54.63"W). The clay pans are located along a latitudinal transect across the hyperarid core of the Atacama from 20° S to 24.5° S. The seismic survey comprised a couple of crossing 2D high-resolution seismic lines per each of the clay pans, acquired with vertical component geophones, Geode recorders and a PEG-40 accelerated weight drop as source.

title: Magnetotelluric investigations in the Spremberg area (eastern Germany)

description: New magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected in the Spremberg area (Brandeburg, eastern Germany) at 22 sites along 2 perpendicular profiles. All sites were equipped with five-component broad-band MT stations recording three magnetic field components and two horizontal electric field components. The main objective of the study was to assess the utility of MT techniques for mineral exploration at depth in sedimentary basins and for a region which is affected by strong electromagnetic noise from various sources. In particular, we aim to quantify the electrical conductivity distribution of the top 0.1–5 km of the Earth’s crust to determine electrically conductive zones and their possible correlation with sulfide mineralization. Interestingly, the MT data were recorded during a series of very powerful geomagnetic storms (Kp index 5-9). During the storms (from 10-13 May 2024), the quality of the derived MT transfer functions was generally much higher than for the geomagnetically quiet periods.

title: Magnetotelluric data from the Integrated Plate Boundary Observatory (IPOC) in Chile from 2007 to 2016

description: The largest earthquakes occur at tectonic plate boundaries in subduction zones, known as subduction megathrusts. The subduction megathrust in northern Chile (19°-23°S) has been monitored since 2007 by the Integrated Plate Boundary Observatory Chile (IPOC) network, which includes an array of 11 long-period magnetotelluric (MT) sites to infer changes in deep fluid distribution. Here we present time-series data from 2007-2016, the interval encompassing the precursory and foreshock seismic sequences of the 2007 Mw 7.7 Tocopilla and 2014 Mw 8.1 Iquique earthquakes, an interval that also includes a dozen slow slip events. The time series for this data publication represent a subset of the MT data recorded within the framework of the IPOC project. The dataset comprises 5-component MT data from 5 sites with sampling rate of 8 Hz and 1 Hz.

title: Seismic imaging of the overdeepened basin of Lienz (Austria)

description: In 2016, the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (Hannover, Germany) carried out two seismic surveys in the Lienz basin. The measurements are part of a DFG-funded project, which investigates the benefit of the application of modern multi-component reflection seismics preparatory to scientific drilling, in particular to the ICDP-project DOVE (Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys). Four P-wave seismic profiles, perpendicular to the valley axes, were recorded using vibroseismic technique to gain structure and facies information. In addition, two SH-wave reflection seismics, one 6-component profile, two small 3-D layouts for P-wave and S-waves, as well as one P-wave and SH-wave refraction seismic profiles were measured for primarily methodological studies. Data show a good quality and, in a first quality control, the bedrock as well as internal structures of the basin are imaged.

title: 3D microXCT scans of 1mm pumiceous clasts from Rungwe Pumice eruption deposit (Tanzania)

description: The dataset comprises 3D micro XCT scans collected with a ZEISS Xradia Versa 410 at the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia-Osservatorio Vesuviano (Italy). Samples are ash particles within the 0/-0.5 φ (1-1.4 mm) grain size range collected from different stratigraphic horizons (C, F, I, L, O) of the type section (KF176) of the 4ka Rungwe Pumice Plinian eruption (Tanzania). A total of 4001 bidimensional X-ray absorption projections were collected during a 360° rotation of the sample at 80 kV and 7 W. For each sample a scan was collected using a 10x magnification lens, additionally, for specific samples, a further scan with a 20x lens was also collected at 150 kV and 10 W. The pixel size results in 2 µm/px (8 µm^3/voxel) for samples scanned with 10x lens and 1.1 µm/px (1.3 µm^3/voxel ) for samples scanned with 20x lens. When necessary, a low-energy (LE1) filter was used to minimise beam hardening. The scans were then reconstructed into tomographic volumes using the integrated XRM Reconstructor software.

title: Rheology of PDMS-plasticine mixtures from the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory at CNR-IGG and the University of Florence (Italy)

description: This dataset provides rheometric data of three PDMS-plasticine mixtures used for centrifuge experiments at the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory of CNR-IGG at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Florence (Italy). The test became necessary as older plasticines used in PDMS-plasticine mixtures characterized rheologically in Zwaan et al. (2020) became unavailable. 
The material samples have been analyzed at the Laboratory for Experimental Tectonics at GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam (HelTec) using an Anton Paar Physica MCR 301 rheometer in a plate-plate configuration at room temperature (21˚C). Rotational (controlled shear rate) tests with shear rates varying from 10^-4 to 1 s^-1 were performed. 
According to our rheometric analysis, the new materials cover a range of viscosities from 8E^+04 to 4E^+07 Pas. They exhibit shear thinning behavior with high power law exponents (n-number). For PP45-1, PP45-2 and PP100, the respective n-numbers are 10, 8 and 3 at shear rates above 10^-3s^-1 and around 2 below.
