The spreadsheet gathers the data collected during an experiment conducted on a Utsira Sand formation core sample to complements and constrains existing geophysical monitoring surveys at Sleipner and, more generally, improves the understanding of shallow weakly-cemented sand reservoirs. The tests were conducted in the rock physics laboratory at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, during 2016, as part of the DiSECCS project with funding from the United Kingdom’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC grant EP/K035878/1) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The experiment was a steady state brine-CO2 flow-through test to simultaneously evaluate ultrasonic waves, electrical resistivity (converted into pore fluid distribution) and mechanical indicators during CO2 geosequestration in shallow weakly-cemented reservoirs. The confining and pore pressure conditions were similar to those estimated for Sleipner (North Sea – like storage reservoirs), but simulating inflation/depletion cyclic scenarios for increasing brine:CO2 fractional flow rates. The data include primary ultrasonic wave velocities and attenuation factors, axial and radial strains, and electrical resistivity. Also, we provide a velocity-saturation relationship of practical importance to CO2 plume monitoring, obtained from the inversion of ultrasonic velocity and attenuation data and extrapolation of results to field-scale seismic-frequencies using a new rock physics theory.

High-precision CA-ID-TIMS (Chemical Abrasion Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry) Uranium-Lead geochronology of zircon, extracted from igneous plutonic and mineralised porphyry intrusions in the Rio Blanco-Los Bronces Cu Porphyry area, Chile. Eleven parent samples cover an age range of ca. 14 Ma to ca. 5 Ma. Sample Identifiers correspond to the NERC Highlight topic consortium project FAMOS (From Arc Magmas to Ores) samples from the Natural History Museum component of the project and Large et al.(2024) J. Pet, where full rock types, geo-references, petrography, and geochemistry of parent samples can be found in addition to zircon Cathodoluminesence and SEM characterization of zircon of samples, and the corresponding zircon trace element analyses (inclusive of U-Pb) by laser ablation ICPMS. This data provides insights into the crystallisation of zircon and timescales of porphyry copper deposits.

This dataset contains the raw X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and stable isotope data, raw and processed, for samples from two different field locations, sample HR5 (Slag) from Harrington, Cumbria, UK (54.608278N, -3.570164W) and sample 22CCT1N6 (Ultramafic mine tailings) from Clinton Creek Mine, Yukon, Canada (64.457222N, -140.710833W). The data was collected in between 2023-2025. The XRD data was collected for the purpose of identifying mineralogy of the collected samples. The stable isotope data was collected for the purpose of identifying whether the carbonate minerals in the collected samples contained atmospheric carbon dioxide. The data was collected by John MacDonald, Charlotte Slaymark and Robin Hilderman (University of Glasgow) who retain the original data.

Rhenium-osmium abundance and isotope data obtained for the Kyoei-Sakin-zawa Creek Section, Japan. Sample collection August 2021 principally funded by NSF-NERC award. The approximately 340 m stratigraphically thick Cretaceous section mainly comprises organic bearing siltstone, sandstone and interbedded tuff horizons associated with the OAE1d (Oceanic Anoxic Event 1d) interval.

U-Pb (Uranium – Lead) geochronology data of rutile from the Mindola Deposit Zambia Copperbelt. Full U/Pb isotope data, uncertainties and calculated ages for individual spot analyses for each sample and standard. Samples from Mindola North, Zambia, taken from the University of Southampton Archive. The samples were from the Kitwe Formation and included Dolomitic Siltstone, Quartz-Carbonate veins, Impure Dolostone and Anhydrite Conglomerate. The Kitwe Formation is the major host to Cu-Co mineralisation at Nkana-Mindola, particularly within the Ore Shale member. At Mindola and Mindola North, the Ore Shale is continuous along strike until a barren gap of siliceous dolostones called the Kitwe Barren gap. Overlying the Ore Shale are a series of quartzite, dolomitic argillites and dolostones of the Rokana Evaporites The remainder of the Kitwe Formation is overlain by the Upper Roan Group carbonates.

This dataset includes measurements of protodune and barchan height, length and migration on both Mars and Earth. Earth measurements were calculated from high resolution Terrestrial Laser Scans (TLS) of bedforms migrating through time in coastal and desert regions. Raw point cloud data can be found at Nield et al. (2023a; 2023b; 2025a; 2025b). Mars measurements were calculated from High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) imagery.

Measurements of the nitrogen content of hydrothermal graphite deposits and associated silicate rocks. The samples are of Paleoproterozoic age and allow constraining the behavior of nitrogen in abiotic hydrothermal graphite-forming systems. The results provide context for evaluating the biogenicity of Eoarchean graphite. More details are presented in Stüeken, E.E., Szilas, K. and van Hinsberg, V.J., 2023, Chemical Geology, 617, p.121274.
