Digital image correlation data from analogue modeling experiments addressing mechanisms of overprinting translational domains in passive margin salt basins

Abstract

This data set includes the results of digital image correlation of three experiments on gravitational tectonics at passive margins performed at the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling (HelTec) of the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam in the framework of EPOS transnational access activities in 2018. Detailed descriptions of the experiments and monitoring techniques can be found in Ge et al. (submitted) to which this data set is supplement. The DIC analysis yields quantitative deformation information of the experiment surfaces by means of 3D surface displacements from which strain has been calculated. The data presented here are visualized as surface displacement maps, strain maps and strain evolution maps.
