This datasets contains Electrical Resistivity Tomography surveys taken in the Makutapora Basin, Central Tanzania, using an AGI SuperSting R8 (STING) resistivity meter. Survey geometry, parameters and coordinates are also included. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/1998da32-a978-41a4-8a66-81df1e625cca

A core scanning dataset from part of the Ellesmere Port-1 drill core that was drilled for unconventional hydrocarbons in 2014. Approximate 40 m of core from the Bowland Shale Formation in the Ellesmere Port-1 (1532.7 – 1663.15 m) was scanned for high-resolution optical images and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) downcore point measurements using the Itrax MC core scanner (Cox Analytical Systems) at the Core Scanning Facility (CSF) at the British Geological Survey. Core scanning was utilised as part of the commission phase of this facility.
