cff-version: 1.2.0 abstract: "This dataset provides all the data that were used to produce the results presented in the following study: "Dominantly Aseismic Nucleation of Laboratory Earthquakes: A Quantitative Investigation". The data are composed of mechanical data and acoustic data and were collected during stick-slip experiments conducted on cylindrical samples of Indian metagabbro. In this study we used acoustic emissions prior to stick-slip instabilities as a proxy to foreshocks prior to earthquakes." authors: - family-names: Marty given-names: Samson orcid: "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8083-3237" title: "Data underlying the publication: Dominantly Aseismic Nucleation of Laboratory Earthquakes: A Quantitative Investigation" keywords: version: 1 identifiers: - type: doi value: 10.4121/14619222.v1 license: CC0 date-released: 2021-05-21
