  • This dataset contains high-speed video recordings and particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis results from granular flow experiments performed on an inclined flume with a fixed rough substrate, at the University of Edinburgh. Included are the high-speed videos (.mp4), a Word document outlining the experimental details and analysis methods, and figures displaying key analytical results of vertical velocity and granular temperature profiles. The flows consist of sand particles with a volumetric mean diameter of 875 µm, propagating over a substrate of coarser sand with a mean diameter of 1063 µm. Experimental conditions include varying slope angles (34°–42°) to investigate the influence of inclination on flow dynamics. PIV was used to analyse the videos, generating vertical velocity profiles and granular temperature profiles. Lens distortion was corrected using MATLAB to ensure accurate measurements. This dataset is relevant to those interested in granular flow dynamics, natural hazard modelling (e.g., landslides, pyroclastic density currents), and granular flow industrial applications.

  • Rhenium-osmium abundance and isotope data obtained for the Nakatengu Creek Section, Japan. Sample collection August 2021 principally funded by NSF-NERC award. The approximately 2000 m stratigraphically thick Cretaceous section mainly comprises organic bearing siltstone, siliceous mudstone, sandstone and interbedded tuff horizons.

  • Rhenium-osmium abundance and isotope data synopsis obtained for the Nakatengu Creek and Soashibetsu-gawa OAE1a (oceanic anoxic event 1a) Sections, Hokkaido, Japan, and the Sauzeries OAE1a Section, France. Sample collection August 2021 principally funded by NSF-NERC award. For the Nakatengu Creek and Soashibetsu-gawa sections approximately 2000 m stratigraphically thick Cretaceous section mainly comprises organic bearing siltstone, siliceous mudstone, sandstone and interbedded tuff horizons. The Re-Os data is published in Youjuan Li et al. ,Radioisotopic chronology of Ocean Anoxic Event 1a: Framework for analysis of driving mechanisms.Sci. Adv.10,eadn8365(2024).DOI:10.1126/sciadv.adn8365 For the Sauzeries OAE1a section, a 20 m interval comprises interbedded marl-dominated, marl-limestone and fine grained clays.

  • The LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) holds information about the sample preparation and chemical analysis of samples (from internal and external customers) handled by the BGS chemistry laboratories at Keyworth. Data covers X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRFS) analyses, loss on ignition (LOI), pH for GBASE. Coverage will be extended to other BGS laboratories with time. It is not intended that the results of chemical analysis will remain on the system indefinitely, data for internal customers being passed to corporate or project datasets, data for external clients being archived.
