This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 12 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. We employed analogue modelling to study the inversion of extensional basins that are parallel and oblique to their boundaries. The key parameters of this study are: (i) the obliquity angle (0°, 10° or 20°) of shortening in relation to the strike of the initial rift structures; (ii) the basal décollement rheology; and (iii) the rheology of the basin fill. All analogue experiments are rectangular, 2 cm thick and consist of deformable brittle or brittle–ductile layers. Deformable parts in entirely brittle models are made of a homogeneous layer of quartz sand for the initial, non-stretched, pre-rift model crust. The subsequently resulting grabens are filled with syn- to post-extensional sediments of quartz sand, feldspar sand, or glass beads. Variations to these setups entail either a brittle layer of glass beads at the base of the above described brittle crust, or, for brittle-ductile models, a viscous layer of PDMS silicone putty with fillers. All experiments are built on one fixed above two mobile plastic sheets, their transition is pre-defining velocity discontinuities (VDs). In a first stage, deformation is induced in all models by two electric motors pulling the two mobile plastic sheets in opposite directions parallel to the backstop. These sheets are then fixed once the extensional phase is finished. VDs positioned both orthogonally and obliquely with respect to the backstop allow graben structures to form at angles of 0°, 10° and 20° to the subsequent shortening direction. In a second stage, a rigid backstop moves into the model to create compressive deformation within the entirely brittle or brittle-ductile layers. Top-view photographs were taken at regular time intervals throughout each experiment (see below for details). Cross-section photographs were taken at the end of each experiment. Therefore, the top-view photographs enable surface deformation to be tracked and analysed through time and space, while the cross-sections demonstrate the overall vertical deformation of each model. For more details about the models, see Sieberer et al. (2023). The properties of the materials used are described in Sieberer et al. (2023), Klinkmüller et al. (2016) and Willingshofer et al. (2018). All models are scaled according to the principles of geometric, rheological, and kinematic similarity between nature and models (Hubbert, 1937; Weijermars & Schmeling, 1986).
This image dataset contains results (original top-view and cross-section photographs) obtained from a series of 4 crustal-scale physical analogue modelling experiments performed in the Tectonic Modelling Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University. The experiments have been designed to allow comparison with the European eastern Southern Alps but are also relevant for other regions where lateral mechanical and structural heterogeneities within fold-and-thrust belts of inverted rift structures occur. Key features of our experiments include: (i) a predefined basin and platform configuration following Sieberer et al. (2023) and representing the result of Triassic to Jurassic rifting, (ii) a platform with lateral strength variations representing compositional heterogeneity related to Permian igneous activity and (iii) a basal plate representing an inherited basement structure. All analogue experiments are rectangular, maximum 2.0 cm thick, and are made of deformable layers only, except for Model 4 where a rigid basal plate is partly incorporated. The deformable part of all models is made of one homogeneous layer of dry quartz sand for the pre-defined post-rift model crust. The pre-defined platform and basin geometry yields lateral strength differences controlled by differences in layer thickness, with thinner (1.4 cm) compartments simulating overall weaker, rifted basin domains (e.g., alternations of limestone, marl, clay) compared to the thicker (1.8 to 2.0 cm) platform succession, simulating continental upper crust (e.g., basement rocks, carbonate platforms, volcanic rocks). All experiments are built on a table and on top of a fixed plastic sheet of 0.05 cm thickness and are shortened orthogonal to the backstop at a rate of 3 cm/h. We decided for simple orthogonal inversion models with shortening parallel to the axis of the eastern platform. Top-view photographs were taken at regular time intervals throughout each experiment (see below for details). Cross-section photographs were taken at the end of each experiment. Therefore, the top-view photographs enable surface deformation to be tracked and analysed through time and space, while the cross-sections demonstrate the overall vertical deformation of each model. For more details about the models, see Sieberer et al. (2025). The properties of the materials used are described in Sieberer et al. (2025) and Willingshofer et al. (2018). All models are scaled according to the principles of geometric, rheological, and kinematic similarity between nature and models (Hubbert, 1937; Weijermars & Schmeling, 1986).

WMO Basins and Sub-Basins (WMOBB) is an ongoing GIS project of the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC). This dataset was created for the generation of GRDC map products and will be updated from time to time whenever extensions are required by future GRDC projects. At present the dataset comprises GIS layers of WMO Basins 2020 and WMO River Networks 2020.
This dataset shows the original data of a series of enhanced-gravity (centrifuge) analogue models, which were performed to test the influence of the pre-existing fabrics in the brittle upper crust on the evolution of structures resulting from oblique rifting. The obliquity of the rift (i.e., the angle between the rift axis and the direction of extension) was kept constant at 30° in all the models. The main variable of this experimental series was the orientation of the pre-existing fabrics (indicated as the angle between the trend of the fabric and the orthogonal to extension), which varied from 0° to 90° (i.e., from orthogonal to parallel to the extension direction). The inherited discontinuities were reproduced by cutting with a knife through the top brittle layer of models. An overview of the experimental series is shown in Table 1. In this dataset, four different data types are provided for further analysis: 1) Top-view photos of model deformation, taken at different time intervals and showing the deformation process of each model; they can be used to interpret the geometrical characteristics of rift-related faults; 2) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) used to reconstruct the 3D deformation of the analogue models, allowing for quantitative analysis of the fault pattern. 3) Movies of model deformation, built from top-view photos, which help to visualize the evolution of model deformation; 4) Faults line-drawings to be used for statistical quantification of rift-related structures. Further information on the modelling strategy and setup can be found in the publication associated to this dataset and in Corti (2012), Philippon et al. (2015), Maestrelli et al. (2020), Molnar et al. (2020), Zwaan et al. (2021), Zou et al. (2023). Materials used to perform these enhanced-gravity analogue models were described in Montanari et al. (2017), Del Ventisette et al. (2019) and Zwaan et al. (2020).

The methodologies chosen in BASYS cover the application of a selected range of modern analyses of variables sampled in the field, data processing and model tools which are described in detail in the individual subprojects. Generally, the approach of BASYS to meet the objectives covers time scales from seasons, years, decades and centuries including the postglacial development of the ecosystem to which all subprojects will contribute individually as well as collectively: - Present day fluxes on biogenic and non-biogenic matter into and within the system are investigated on seasonal and annual scales in the pelagial and the benthal from the coast-line to the deep basins. - Natural variability in the ecosystem on the decadal scale is analysed by evaluation of historical data on climatology, hydrography, chemistry and biology including anecdotal information which will reach into the preindustrial period. - Results will be integrated by model simulation, modeI experiments and data assimilation including hindcasting of 20 to 100 years. - Time scales from 5,000 years BP to present are followed by the use of a variety of proxies for ecosystem variables in laminated sediments with high resolution particularly for the last 500 years.
