The geochemical results show that major constituents and boron content varied largely in pore fluids and possibly were affected by sulfate reduction, re-crystallization of biogenic carbonate or silica, ash alteration, and organic matter degradation. Mixing of fluids along high-porosity sandy layers or fracture zones also changes the pore water chemical compositions significantly. The down-core distribution of B and delta (super 11) B in the pore waters are sensitive tracers for assessing fluid migration and water/sediment interaction at various depths. Pore water B content at Site 1202 falls in a range between 0.25 and 1.16 mM compared to that of 0.42 mM in seawater. The delta (super 11) B values, however, vary considerably from approximately 32.7 to 50.9 per mil relative to the seawater value of 39.5 per mil. The delta (super 11) B vs. 1/B plot indicates that sedimentary B released from clays is the most important source to pore waters, resulting in elevated B with low delta (super 11) B. Other processes including precipitation of calcium carbonate, fluid advection through high-porosity permeable sandy horizons, interaction with terrigenous sediments and/or ash alteration may also modify the B and delta (super 11) B distributions.completedGeneral geochemistryB-11/B-10boronchemical compositiongeochemistryisotopesLeg 195lithostratigraphymarine sedimentsNorth PacificNorthwest PacificOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1202Okinawa TroughPacific Oceanpore watersedimentsstable isotopesWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:195urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:195:site:1202urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:195urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation122.3000122.310024.480024.4900
