2. Morphology and Alteration of the Upper Oceanic Crust from In-situ Electrical Experiments in Dsdp/odp Hole 504b
During ODP Leg 111, the drillship JOIDES Resolution returned to DSDP Hole 504B, on the south flank of the Costa Rica Rift. The main objective of Leg 111 was the study of the physical and chemical structure of young oceanic crust in the deepest hole yet drilled into the oceanic crust. In addition to the drilling of an additional 212.3 m into the massive units of Layer 2C, Leg 111 provided the op...
متن کاملBorehole-to-borehole hydrologic response across 2.4 km in the upper oceanic crust: Implications for crustal-scale properties
[1] Subseafloor hydrologic observatories (CORKs) were installed in four boreholes in young seafloor on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca ridge to evaluate the hydrogeology of the upper oceanic crust. Two CORKs installed at Site 1301 were incompletely sealed, allowing cold bottom water to flow into basement at 2–5 L/s and causing a pressure perturbation in a preexisting sealed CORK at Site 1...
متن کاملPhysical properties of young (3.5 Ma) oceanic crust from the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge: Comparison of wireline and core measurements with global data
[1] We compile and compare petrophysical data from the upper oceanic crust in Hole U1301B, on 3.5 Ma seafloor on the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. Measurements include core-scale (lab-based) and in situ (wireline) measurements of formation porosity, electrical resistivity, bulk density, P wave velocity, and gamma ray emission. A comparison between Hole U1301B data and those from othe...
متن کاملAccretion, Structure and Hydrology of Intermediate Spreading-Rate Oceanic Crust from Drillhole Experiments and Seafloor Observations
Downhole measurements recorded in the context of the Ocean Drilling Program in Hole 504B, the deepest hole drilled yet into the oceanic crust, are analyzed in terms of accretion processes of the upper oceanic crust at intermediate spreading-rate. The upper part of the crust is found to support the non steady-state models of crustal accretion developed from sea floor observations (Kappel and Rya...
متن کاملDensity and Porosity of the Upper Oceanic Crust from Seafloor Gravity Measurements
The exposure of 1300 meters of upper oceanic crust at the Blanc0 Fracture Zone allows near-bottom gravity measurements to determine the in situ density of the seafloor as a function of depth. Gravity measurements along the north wall of the Blanc0 Depression indicate an outcrop density of 2530 * Kg/m3 for the upper 800 meters of crust and a calculated porosity of 23%. The lower 500 meters of cr...
