A database of R-R-R triple junction analogue and numerical models

This dataset presents the raw data from two experimental series of analogue models and four numerical models performed to investigate Rift-Rift-Rift triple junction dynamics, supporting the modelling results described in the submitted paper. Numerical models were run in order to support the outcomes obtained from the analogue models. Our experimental series tested the case of a totally symmetric RRR junction (with rift branch angles trending at 120° and direction of stretching similarly trending at 120°; SY Series) or a less symmetric triple junction (with rift branches trending at 120° but with one of these experiencing orthogonal extension; OR Series), and testing the role of a single or two phases of extension coupled with effect of differential velocities between the three moving plates. An overview of the performed analogue and numerical models is provided in Table 1. Analogue models have been analysed quantitatively by means of photogrammetric reconstruction of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) used for 3D quantification of the deformation, and top-view photo analysis for qualitative descriptions. The analogue materials used in the setup of these models are described in Montanari et al. (2017), Del Ventisette et al. (2019) and Maestrelli et al. (2020). Numerical models were run with the finite element software ASPECT (e.g., Kronbichler et al., 2012; Heister et al., 2017; Rose et al., 2017).

Digital Image Correlation of evolving restraining bend experiments in wet kaolin

We document the evolution of two 15° strike-slip restraining bends within wet kaolin. Computer-controlled stepper motors displace one half of the split-box apparatus at a constant rate of 0.5 mm/min to induce dextral faulting in a 2.5 cm thick layer of wet kaolin. The basal plate discontinuity has a 15° bend with a 2 cm stepover distance. Prior to any loading we cut a vertical fault surface that follows the basal plate discontinuity into the wet kaolin with an electrified probe and wooden template.

Halbtechnische Biogasgewinnung durch gemeinsame anaerobe Faulung von Hausmuell und Klaerschlamm

Die biochemischen Grundlagen fuer die gemeinsame anerobe Faulung von Hausmuell und Klaerschlamm sind im Rahmen DFG-gefoerderter Auftraege untersucht worden. Jetzt geht es darum, eine halbtechnische Biogasgewinnung im Hinblick auf die spaetere industrielle/kommunale Nutzung des Energieinhaltes von Hausmuell und Klaerschlamm zu entwickeln und gleichzeitig optimale Bedingungen fuer den Prozess zu erarbeiten. Folgende Massnahmen sollen dazu dienen: - Verwendung eines Drehrohres zur kontinuierlichen Durchfuehrung des Verfahrens - Verwendung der etwa 50 Prozent des Hausmuells betragenden, vorgemahlenen Fraktion mit dem hoechsten Kohlenstoffgehalt - Verwendung von Klaerschlamm als Bakterientraeger und Wasserlieferant. Das vorgeschlagene Verfahren ist kein Ersatz fuer die bisherigen Muellbeseitigungsmethoden, sondern eine Ergaenzung.
