---------------------
DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
---------------------
This dataset includes a 3-D model of the Courthouse Mesa toppling rock slab instability in Utah. Data include a 3-D model of the rock slope instability (.stl) and a COMSOL Multiphysics project file showing the boundary conditions and solutions of the best model run obtained by comparison with seismic array-based modal analysis (.mph). 

1. File List
   A. Filename: CourthouseMesa_ModelGeometry.stl
      Short description: 3-D model of the Courthouse Mesa toppling rock slab instability. 
        
   B. Filename: CourthouseMesa_BestModel.mph
      Short description: COMSOL Multiphysics project file showing the boundary conditions and solutions of the best model run obtained by comparison with seismic array-based modal analysis.
        
2. Relationship between files: 
	The .stl file was used to create the model geometry in the COMSOL Multiphysics project file.        

3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: N/A

4. Are there multiple versions of the dataset? No

--------------------------
METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
--------------------------


1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 
	We generated a photogrammetric 3-D model of Courthouse Mesa using Bentley Context Capture, and trimmed the 3-D model to only include the unstable rock slab using Meshmixer. COMSOL Multiphysics was then used to import the 3-D geometry and create a finite element analysis of the rock slope instability. 

2. Methods for processing the data: N/A

3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data:
	We generated the 3D models using Bentley Context Capture and Meshmixer, and performed finite element analysis in COMSOL Multiphysics.

4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: N/A

5. Environmental/experimental conditions: N/A

6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: N/A

7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission:
	Erin K. Bessette-Kirton, Jeffrey R. Moore, Paul R. Geimer, Riley Finnegan, and Alex Dzubay collected field data. Erin K. Bessette-Kirton, Jeffrey R. Moore, Paul R. Geimer, Riley Finnegan, and Mauro Häusler processed and analyzed the data.
