Active hydrothermal fields are dynamic areas where fluid flow strongly affects the geochemistry and biology of the surrounding environment. There have been few permeability measurements in these regions, especially in felsic-hosted hydrothermal systems. We present a data set of 38 permeability and porosity measurements from the PACMANUS hydrothermal field, an actively venting, felsic hydrothermal field in the eastern Manus Basin. Permeability was measured using a complex transient method on 2.54-cm minicores. Permeability varies greatly between the samples, spanning over five orders of magnitude. Permeability decreases with both depth and decreasing porosity. When the alteration intensity of individual samples is considered, relationships between depth and porosity and permeability become more clearly defined. For incompletely altered samples (defined as >5% fresh rock), permeability and porosity are constant with depth. For completely altered samples (defined as <5% fresh rock), permeability and porosity decrease with depth. On average, the permeability values from the PACMANUS hydrothermal field are greater than those in other submarine environments using similar core-scale laboratory measurements; the average permeability, 4.5 x 10-16 m (super 2) , is two to four orders of magnitude greater than in other areas. Although the core-scale permeability is higher than in other seafloor environments, it is still too low to obtain the fluid velocities observed in the PACMANUS hydrothermal field based on simplified analytical calculations. It is likely that core-scale permeability measurements are not representative of bulk rock permeability of the hydrothermal system overall, and that the latter is predominantly fracture controlled.completedOceanographyBismarck Seacorescrustexperimental studiesfelsic compositionfluid dynamicshydrothermal conditionshydrothermal ventsigneous rockslaboratory studiesLeg 193Manus BasinmeasurementOcean Drilling Programocean floorsoceanic crustPacific OceanPACMANUS hydrothermal fieldpermeabilityphysical propertiesporositysea waterSouth PacificSouthwest Pacificthermal watersvolcanic rockswater-rock interactionWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:193urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation151.4000151.4100-3.4400-3.4300Available only on CD-ROM in PDF format and on the Web in PDF or HTMLapplication/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogue
