Analog Model Elevation Data for Transpressional Tectonic Systems

Elevation model data in .mat format accompanies the manuscript 'Morpho-tectonics of Transpressional Systems: insights from analog modeling' submitted to AGU Tectonics. The data is formatted for plotting with topotoolbox. Ethan Conrad submitted the dataset to the Texas Data Repository Harvested Dataverse on March 18, 2024.

Use Cases

• Visualizing tectonic landform evolution based on analog model elevation data.
• Analyzing surface morphology of transpressional systems based on the provided digital elevation models.
• Validating numerical tectonic models based on physical analog model outputs.
• Teaching concepts of tectonic geomorphology based on structured model results.

Strengths

• Data is formatted for use with a specific, established analysis tool (topotoolbox).
• Accompanies a peer-reviewed manuscript submission to a major journal (AGU Tectonics).
• Last metadata update was March 18, 2024.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
