  • Transcriptomic analyses were undertaken on both in situ collected and experimentally warmed blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from Greenland. M. edulis were collected from the Godthabsfjorden near Nuuk, Greenland (64.45555, -51.14416) at the following locations and dates: Inner fjord (64.45941, -50.31030) on 11/06/2018; outer fjord (64.19666, -51.69) on 13/06/2018, and sub-tidal (64.19666, -51.69) on 13/06/2018 (outer fjord at 20-40cm below the lowest low water mark). The in situ collected inner and outer fjord intertidal animals with outer fjord subtidal animals used as controls were collected at 27 degree Celsius, 19 degree Celsius and 3 degree Celsius, respectively. Some of the outer fjord subtidal M. edulis were experimentally warmed to 22 degree Celsius and 32 degree Celsius for one hour to mimic high aerial exposure temperatures in the inner and outer fjord intertidal, respectively. RNA-Seq was performed on 5 animals for each treatment, with all subsequent bioinformatics analyses performed by Novogene, China. This work was supported by the Carlsberg Foundation, the Independent Research Fund Denmark (Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond) (DFF-International Postdoc; case no. 7027-00060B), a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (IF) under contract number 797387 and Aage V. Jensens Fond (Aage V. Jensens Foundation) and NERC-UKRI core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

  • This dataset has been superseded by the dataset https://doi.org/10.5285/20010bfb-c6d3-430f-b1f7-d16790ab8359. A dataset of acclimation potential of terrestrial, freshwater and marine ectotherms across latitudes collected from the literature spanning the time period 1960 to 2015 with the aim to test the importance of physiological acclimation as a mechanism to buffer species against climate warming. The projected rate of environmental warming is used to calculate how many years and generations acclimation capacity will afford each species before it will exceed its thermal maximum. Acclimation capacity, generation time, latitudinal range extent and projected rate of warming are then combined into an index of vulnerability. This data together with critical thermal maxima of the ectotherms are presented here.

  • The data resource collates novel measurements of the rhenium isotope geochemistry of various materials measured between 2019 and 2024. The data were collected as part of NERC funded research (NE/T001119) aiming to constrain the behavior of the rhenium isotope system at Earth's surface. Sampling, analyses and data collation were undertaken at Royal Holloway, Durham University and the University of Oxford. The main outputs include: Table 1 - Measurements of Icelandic groundwaters and hydrothermal systems, samples collected in September 2021 from locations around Iceland, and analysed 2021-2023. Table 2 - Measurements on multiple shale weathering profiles from sites across the USA, New Zealand, collected in the 1990s (USA) and 2018 (New Zealand), and measured between 2020-2022. Table 3 - Rhenium isotope measurements on the Eagle Ford Shale, USA, collected in the 2010s and analysed between 2021-2024. Table 4 - Rhenium elemental and isotopic measurements in igneous rocks from Iceland (Helka magmatic evolution sequence collected in the 2000s and 2010s) and Mid-Ocean Ridge in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and analysed in 2019-2024. Table 5 - Rhenium isotopes in river sediments and river waters of the northern Mackenzie River basin, Canada, delta region, including Peel and Arctic Red Rivers. Materials were collected between 2017 and 2018 and analysed in 2019. Table 6 - Rhenium isotope measurements on Jurassic aged sedimentary rocks from the MOCHRAS core. Materials were processed and analysed between 2022 and 2025. Together, these data provide a step change in our understanding of the rhenium isotope system and how it can be applied to understand pressing environmental science questions.

  • A database of pyroclastic density current deposit characteristics. The database includes both quantitative datasets (e.g., grain size, density, bedform dimensions, thickness) and qualitative descriptors (e.g., sedimentary structures, lithofacies). PDCD-DAT includes data from 85 source publications, covering 97 eruptions or eruptive phases, and 214 individual depositional units from 55 globally distributed volcanoes. Eruptions recorded in the database range from VEI 1-8. A website is currently being built which will host the searchable database, https://flowdat.org/pdcd-dat
