Impact of stress regime change on the permeability of a naturally fractured carbonate buildup (Latemar, the Dolomites, northern Italy)_DATASET

The datasets (original field photographs, drone images and finite-element modelling algorithms and results) presented here are drawn from the extensive fieldwork, and finite-element modelling of the impact of stress regime change on the permeability of a naturally fractured carbonate buildup (Latemar, the Dolomites, northern Italy) by the author(s). These datasets show different rock units in the Latemar platform riddled with diverse structural elements, including fractures (veins, joints, faults) and stylolites, and the results of the impact of the modelled far-field stresses at (i) subsidence deformation from the NW–SE and (ii) Alpine deformation from N–S. All of which increased the overall fracture aperture and permeability of the studied carbonate platform. In addition, the datasets are part of the paper titled "Impact of stress regime change on the permeability of a naturally fractured carbonate buildup (Latemar, the Dolomites, northern Italy)", published in the Solid Earth Journal. The drone images are taken with DJI Phantom 4® and processed using Agisoft PhotoScan® - a photogrammetry tool. The workflow in processing the drone images is publicly available in the published work of Bisdom et al. (2017).
