India-Eurasia convergence speed-up by passive-margin sediment subduction

This dataset provides data and visualization code of the numerical experiments on India-Eurasia convergence speed-up by passive-margin sediment subduction. The repository contains six main subfolders, one for each model with different sediment thickness and pore pressure. Each subfolder contains hdf5 output files. Each hdf5 file has three main groups: Group 1-ModelGroup, which includes two datasets and an additional group with 5 model parameters; Group 2-NodeGroup, which contains velocity, stress, strain rate, and temperature datasets, as well as datasets of physical and rheological properties on the nodes; Group 3-VisMarkerGroup, which contains one dataset. The dataset, named Mtype, includes the rock type number of each marker (see details of the README file). Numerical experiments suggest that subduction of >1 km-thick sediments covering a ~1000 km-wide ocean basin abutting the northern Indian passive margin could have spurred the increased convergence rate and further led to signi..., , , # Data from: India-Eurasia convergence speed-up by passive-margin sediment subduction

## Description of the data and file structure

This repository provides data and visualization code of the models with an incoming plate sediment thickness of 0 km and 1 km, and pore pressure of the sediment of 0.60 and 0.99. The following conventions are used in the codes: 

1. the x-axis is positive right; 
2. the y-axis is positive downward; 
3. pressure (the negative mean stress) is positive in compression; 
4. stress is positive in extension 

This dataset also provides compiled major and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotope compositions of the Late Cretaceous-Early Cenozoic magmatic rocks from the Gangdese arc. Empty cells in some columns of Excel data indicate test results without the data. For details, see the references corresponding to the data.
