Whole rock geochemical data from the Alpine Fault Zone (NERC Grant NE/J022128/1)

Whole rock geochemical data from the Alpine Fault Zone. These data have been generated from systematic sampling through the Deep Fault Drilling Project - Phase 1 rock cores and from analyses of cuttings retrieved during the Deep Fault Drilling Project - Phase 2. Geochemical analyses on the fault rocks to understand the conditions at which they were deformed. The dataset is associated with the UK component of a major international campaign, the Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP). to drill a series of holes into the Alpine Fault, New Zealand. The overarching aim of the DFDP to understand better the processes that lead to major earthquakes by taking cores and observing a major continental fault during its build up to a large seismic event.

阿尔卑斯断层带的全岩地球化学数据。这些数据源自深度断层钻探项目第一阶段对岩心的系统采样，以及第二阶段钻探过程中取得的岩屑分析。通过对断层岩石进行地球化学分析，以探究其变形时的条件。该数据集与英国参与的一项重大国际活动——深度断层钻探项目（DFDP）相关联，旨在新西兰阿尔卑斯断层钻取一系列孔洞。深度断层钻探项目的总体目标是通过对大型地震事件前大陆断层的取心和观测，更好地理解导致重大地震的过程。
