Textural changes of graphitic carbon by tectonic and hydrothermal processes in an active plate boundary fault zone, Alpine Fault, New Zealand

Raman spectra of graphite from the Alpine Fault rocks is available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.3911797 We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of all members of DFDP-1 and DFDP-2 Science Teams, as described in GNS Science Report 2011/48 and GNS Science Report 2015/50. DFDP drilling projects were funded by: the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP); GNS Science; Victoria University of Wellington; the University of Otago; the University of Auckland; the University of Canterbury; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; the University of Bremen; the University of Liverpool; the Marsden Fund of the Royal Society of New Zealand; New Zealand Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment; and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grants. The current research was funded by the University of Otago. The authors acknowledge the use of Curtin University’s Microscopy & Microanalysis Facility, whose instrumentation has been partially funded by the University, State and Commonwealth Governments of Australia. We also wish to thank our colleague Olivier Beyssac for generously offering use of Raman microspectrometer laboratory facilities at IMPMC, Paris, France, and for valuable discussions and helpful comments during the acquisition, processing and interpretation of Raman data.
