This data publication contains:
• the source codes for the 1-D finite-difference glaciofluvial model (directory "model_code"),
• the model results presented in Banerjee and Scherler (2025) (directory "model_results"),
• and codes to produce the plots in Banerjee and Scherler (2025)
To compile and run the source codes to generate the output files presented in Banerjee and Scherler (2025), use the commands given in “run_commands.txt”. The output files from the above runs are provided in the directory "model_results".
To reproduce the figures 2 & 3 in the main text of Banerjee and Scherler (2025), and figures S1, S2 & S3 in the supplementary material, use the commands given in plot_commands.txt. This requires AWK and GNUPLOT commandline tools. Figure S2 is based on a Matlab script.
The overarching goal of the Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys (DOVE) project will be to date the age and extent of past glaciations. Formerly-glaciated areas are often characterized by deeply incised structures, often filled by Quaternary deposits. These buried troughs and valleys were formed by glacial overdeepening, likely caused by pressurized subglacial meltwater below warm-based glaciers. Results of this drilling campaign, supported by new dating technologies, will further provide critical data on 'how' and 'at which rate' glacial erosion affects such mountain ranges and their foreland. These processes are also of fundamental importance for evaluating the safety of radioactive waste disposal sites, which are planned in areas of former glaciations. Moreover, results of this project will fill gaps in the knowledge of paleoclimate and atmospheric circulation patterns during past glacial epochs and how these patterns affected ice build-up.
The operational data sets include the drill core documentation from the mobile Drilling Information System (mDIS), full round core scans, MSCL data sets, a preliminary core description and the geophysical downhole logging data that were acquired during and subsequent to the drilling operations. All downhole logs and core depth were subject to depth correction to a common depth master (cf. operational report for detailed information). The data are described by two scientific reports, the Operational Report (https://doi.org/10.48440/ICDP.5068.001) and the Explanatory Remarks on the Operational Datasets (https://doi.org/10.48440/ICDP.5068.002).
