A database of analogue models testing the interaction between magmatic intrusion-related doming and caldera collapse

This dataset presents the raw data from one experimental series (named CCEX, i.e., Caldera Collapse under regional Extension) of analogue models performed to investigate the process of caldera collapse followed by regional extension. Our experimental series tested the case of perfectly circular collapsed calderas afterward stretched under regional extensional conditions, that resulted in elongated calderas. The models are primarily intended to quantify the role of regional extension on the elongation of collapsed calderas observed in extensional settings, such as the East African Rift System. An overview of the performed analogue 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), Bonini et al., 2021 and Maestrelli et al. (2021a,b).

Fault database of the Northern Chile forearc between 18°50’S and 19°45’S

The knowledge about the distribution of active faults is crucial for hazard assessment (Costa et al., 2020; Santibáñez et al., 2019; Wesnousky, 1986) but also provides insights into tectonic control on hydrological processes (Binnie et al., 2020; Jeffery et al., 2013; Pan et al., 2013) or georesource distribution (Goldsworthy & Jackson, 2000; Viguier et al., 2018). Furthermore, tectonically driven topographic uplift and its impact on climate (Armijo et al., 2015; Houston & Hartley, 2003; Rech et al., 2019; Zhisheng et al., 2001) can be better understood if a systematically mapped fault database exists. Here we present an active fault database, as well as the distribution of drainages, for an area between 18.50°S and 19.45°S in Northern Chile forearc, which were systematically mapped in the framework of the project “Cluster C05-Tectonic Geomorphology: Adaptation of drainage to tectonic forcing” of the CRC1211- Earth Evolution at the Dry Limit. The Central Andes forearc at this latitude is located at a highly tectonically active convergent margin and hosts major earthquakes not only on the plate boundary itself (e.g., Métois et al., 2016), but also in the overriding crust (e.g., Comte et al., 1999). It comprises, from west to east, the Coastal Cordillera, Longitudinal Valley and the Western Flank of the Altiplano, showing an impressive amount of topographic variability of ca. 4000 m. Nevertheless, Neogene crustal tectonic structures and surface deformation are poorly documented. The overall landscape appears as a gentle west-sloping pediplain dissected by deep transversal canyons (quebradas), which reach the current Pacific Ocean (Mortimer, 1980). The Longitudinal Valley is a sedimentary basin filled with 432 to 2000 m of Tertiary to Quaternary deposits derived from the Altiplano in the east as well as the Coastal Cordillera in the west (García et al., 2017). Its surface is composed by a multiphase planation surface called the Pacific Paleosurface (PPS), which distribution is suggested to be controlled by crustal tectonics (Evenstar et al., 2017). Depending on the low ratio of tectonic displacement rate to sedimentation rate, many active faults are hidden and only a specialized approach of high-resolution fault mapping, together with a morphometric analysis of the drainage pattern provides systematic information about the distribution of active faults, folds and related structures. The present fault database is the result of creating a comprehensive catalogue of faults classified by the age of last proven/probable tectonic activity. This is accompanied by a compilation of existing age data and a map of drainage pattern. These datasets were compiled in QGIS 3.16.5 (https://www.qgis.org) and are available as. gpkg for GIS applications and as .kml formats to be visualized in Google Earth.

The Paleoseismic Database of Germany and Adjacent Regions PalSeisDB

Central Europe is an intraplate domain which is characterized by low to moderate seismicity with records of larger seismic events occurring in historical and recent times. These records of seismicity are restricted to just over one thousand years. This does not reflect the long seismic cycles in Central Europe which are expected to be in the order of tens of thousands of years. Therefore, we have developed a paleoseismic database (PalSeisDB) that documents the records of paleoseismic evidence (trenches, soft-sediment deformation, mass movements, etc.) and extends the earthquake record to at least one seismic cycle. It is intended to serve as one important basis for future seismic hazard assessments. In the compilation of PalSeisDB, paleoseismic evidence features are documented at 129 different locations in the area of Germany and adjacent regions. A brief explanation of the folder structure, file list and file contents included in the data publication of PalSeisDB is provided in the data description .A detailed explanation of the data collection, the content of the data files and the table headers is available (Hürtgen et al., 2020). A full list of source references for PalSeisDB is provided in Hürtgen (2017, Appendix 8.3, p. 128 ff) and also included in the zip folder here

Particle image velocimetry data from an analog seismo-tectonic model addressing the interaction between neighbor asperities

This dataset includes the results of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) of one experiment on subduction megathrust earthquakes (with interacting asperities) performed at the Laboratory of Experimental Tectonics (LET) Univ. Roma Tre in the framework of AspSync, the Marie Curie project (grant agreement 658034; https://aspsync.wordpress.com). Detailed descriptions of the experiments and monitoring techniques can be found in Corbi et al. (2017). This data set is from one experiment characterized by the presence of a 7 cm wide barrier separating two asperities with equal size, geometry and friction. Here we provide PIV data relative to a 16.3 min long interval during which the experiment produces 138 analog earthquakes with an average recurrence time of 7 s. The PIV analysis yields quantitative information about the velocity field characterizing two consecutive frames, measured in this case at the model surface. For a detailed description of the experimental procedure, set-up and materials used, please refer to the article of Corbi et al. (2017) paragraph 2. This data set has been used for: a) studying velocity variations (Fig. 2 in Corbi et al., 2021) and rupture patterns (Fig. 3a, b in Corbi et al., 2021) occurring during the velocity peak of one of the two asperities (aka trigger).
