The final borehole information pack from the TH0424 Ground Investigation Borehole drilled as part of the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Cheshire facility. TH0424 was drilled to TD of 101 m between the 08-Nov-2021 and 30 Nov-2021. Drill core was collected from 2 m – 101 m with 100 mm diameter. This final data release pack from BGS contains composite and digital wireline logs alongside daily driller's borehole records, sedimentary and discontinuity logging and core analysis data. This information pack also contains the Initial and additional Core Scanning datasets from the BGS Core Scanning Facility (https://doi.org/10.5285/b06d44e6-324d-4e19-bf78-a4520b9b87c8 and https://doi.org/10.5285/381e9664-0f43-4e4c-90ae-1b16ba83681b).

Field data including geological map with sample locations, sample description, thin section images, Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDS) data. Field work and targeted sampling took place, in May 2023, around the exceptional field exposure of an interpreted Slow Earthquake zone in Col d’Amoss, New Caledonia. This data has come into existence through research funded by the NERC Grant NE/X012778/1 Exploring the geological signature of Slow Earthquakes through legacy experiments and field analysis.
