Sediment depth is given in mbsf, rounded to the nearest meter.

Estimations bsed on interlayer pore-watere content i = 15 dry wt% or 20 dry wt%.

We investigated controls on the water chemistry of a South Ecuadorian cloud forest catchment which is partly pristine, and partly converted to extensive pasture. From April 2007 to May 2008 water samples were taken weekly to biweekly at nine different subcatchments, and were screened for differences in electric conductivity, pH, anion, as well as element composition. A principal component analysis was conducted to reduce dimensionality of the data set and define major factors explaining variation...

Leg 193 was the fourth Ocean Drilling Program expedition focusing on understanding subseafloor hydrothermal systems. This program was the first to combine studies of the volcanology, structure, hydrology, mineralization, and microbiology of a subseafloor hydrothermal system hosted by felsic rocks by coring at the PACMANUS hydrothermal field in the Manus Basin, Papua New Guinea. The study examines only the petrology and bulk rock and mineral chemistry of the freshest and most morphologically youthful lava flows...

The mineralogy of S-bearing phases, S-contents, and S-isotopic compositions of sediments and interstitial waters were determined for three cores drilled during Leg 129 in the western Pacific. Pelagic clays, chalks, and radiolarites generally contain 350-1200 ppm S, with essentially all S present as sulfate. Volcanogenic turbidite units contain about 400 ppm S, with about 10%-20% of total sulfur as pyrite-S and the remainder as sulfate. A single claystone from the base of Hole 802A has...
