This data set contains various data derived from rock and rock analogue testing and analogue models which are presented in Rosenau et al. (2016) to which these data are supplement to..A first group of data contains animations of complementary analogue and numerical models of subduction zone earthquake cycles (A). A second group comprises analogue earthquake data and time series of surface deformation derived from scale models of subduction zone earthquake cycles (B). A third group consist of time series of stick-slip experiments using a ring shear tester (C). Finally, friction data both from rocks and rock analogue materials (D) as well as elasticity data from rock analogues are presented (E).See the Description of data and the List of files in the Data Download section for additional data description.
