Collated friction properties data for Nankai Trough Samples, up to June 2025

Collated dataset of all the available friction measurements of samples, up to June 2025, from Nankai Trough, off the southern coast of Japan, North Pacific Ocean. These measurements include frictional strength and rate and state parameters. It also contains mineralogical information, where the samples have been referenced back to ocean drilling expeditions, where the XRD methodology was consistent. The data were collated from published datasets produced by various ocean drilling programs, Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), Ocean Drilling Program (ODP), Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). The data supports the paper: D. R. Faulkner, J. Zhang, H. Okuda, J. D. Bedford, M. J. Ikari, A. M. Schleicher, and T. Hirose. Synthesis of the Laboratory Frictional Properties of a Major Shallow Subduction Zone: the Nankai Trough, Offshore SW Japan. Journal of Geophysical Research

Statement: The data were collated from published datasets produced by various ocean drilling programs; Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Legs 31 and 87, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Legs 131, 190, 196, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 314, 315, 316, 319, 322, 326, 332, 333, 338, 348, and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expeditions 358, 365, 370, 380. Detailed location and drill hole/core information (e.g., water/drill depths, approximate core age and main lithology) at the drill sites along the Ashizuri, Muroto and Kumano transects are available on the map view website (https://www.kochi-core.jp/iodp-curation/core-sample/corecollection_map.html). The compilation includes all data where quantification of frictional properties from depths < ~250 meters below seafloor (mbsf) was made. For more detail please see the associated paper D. R.
