| Brief Description | Pore fluid chemistry from gravity cores |
Gravity core sampling took place at Dorado Outcrop off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24. For more information about operations of this cruise see the cruise page which contains a link to the cruise report (AT26-24).
Phosphate, N+N, silicate, and NH4, were all run at Oregon State University using standard colorimetric techniques. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was run at Oregon State University using coulometry. Remaining elements were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer (ICPOES). Comparison of Si measured via the two techniques shows an offset with the colorimetric results being ~7 uM higher than the ICP-OES results.
The data have not been processed further.

Description from NSF award abstract:
Pristine fluids from a typical ridge-flank hydrothermal system have never been sampled, mainly because it has not been possible to locate a site of focused discharge where representative samples could be collected. The PIs have located a small basement feature, Dorado outcrop, on 23 m.y.-old seafloor on the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise that they plan to sample to determine the fluid composition, and to assess the rate of discharge from the outcrop, so that they can quantify the chemical impact of this hydrothermal system. They plan an 18-day expedition that combines the surveying capabilities of the AUV Sentry (bathymetric, sub-bottom sonar, photo mosaics, water column anomalies) and an ocean-class vessel capable of collecting high-quality multi-beam data and CTD samples, and supporting the survey and sampling capabilities of the ROV Jason II for collection of spring and plume fluids, heat flow data, sediment push cores, and still and video photography. These data and samples will be combined hopefully to generate the first well-constrained estimates of hydrothermal flows from Dorado outcrop. This expedition will result in the collection of samples and data from a "fire hose" of ridge-flank, hydrothermal system, challenging the commonly held view that discharge from ridge flank hydrothermal systems occurs primarily from diffuse seeps.

Capable of being performed in numerous environments, push coring is just as it sounds. Push coring is simply pushing the core barrel (often an aluminum or polycarbonate tube) into the sediment by hand. A push core is useful in that it causes very little disturbance to the more delicate upper layers of a sub-aqueous sediment.

| Brief Description | Chemistry from discrete samples of hydrothermal springs |
Syringe samples of hydrothermal water were collected during Alvin dives.
The Alvin dives were conducted off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean at Dorado Outcrop during the R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24. For more information about operations of this cruise see the cruise pages which contain links to cruise reports (AT26-24)
Chemical Measurements:
All fluids were measured using established standard protocols. At sea, alkalinity was determined potentiometrically via titration with 0.1N hydrochloric acid; a pH measurement is conducted as part of this procedure. An Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometer (ICPOES) was used to measure Na, K, Sr, Li, Mg, Ca, and S with a 1:200 dilution and Sr, Li, Fe, Mn, and B with a 1:25 dilution in 1% nitric acid. An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to analyze Rb, Cs, Ba, Mo, V and U with a 1:75 dilution in 3% nitric acid. Nutrients (silicate, phosphate, total nitrogen and nitrate) were measured at Oregon State University using standard colorimetric, automated, segmented flow procedures. Chlorinity was determined potentiometrically via titration with silver nitrate. Carbon analyses were conducted at Oregon State University
The data have not been processed further.

Description from NSF award abstract:
Pristine fluids from a typical ridge-flank hydrothermal system have never been sampled, mainly because it has not been possible to locate a site of focused discharge where representative samples could be collected. The PIs have located a small basement feature, Dorado outcrop, on 23 m.y.-old seafloor on the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise that they plan to sample to determine the fluid composition, and to assess the rate of discharge from the outcrop, so that they can quantify the chemical impact of this hydrothermal system. They plan an 18-day expedition that combines the surveying capabilities of the AUV Sentry (bathymetric, sub-bottom sonar, photo mosaics, water column anomalies) and an ocean-class vessel capable of collecting high-quality multi-beam data and CTD samples, and supporting the survey and sampling capabilities of the ROV Jason II for collection of spring and plume fluids, heat flow data, sediment push cores, and still and video photography. These data and samples will be combined hopefully to generate the first well-constrained estimates of hydrothermal flows from Dorado outcrop. This expedition will result in the collection of samples and data from a "fire hose" of ridge-flank, hydrothermal system, challenging the commonly held view that discharge from ridge flank hydrothermal systems occurs primarily from diffuse seeps.

| Brief Description | DO of pore water from sediment gravity and push cores |
Sampling took place at Dorado Outcrop off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean during the R/V Atlantis cruises AT26-09 and AT26-24. For more information about operations of this cruise see the cruise pages which contain links to cruise reports ( AT26-09, AT26-24).
Dissolved oxygen (DO) was measured at-sea in pore waters from sediment gravity cores and cores collected by the submersible ALVIN with a needle-type oxygen optode inserted radially into sediment cores, following published protocols (e.g., Orcutt et al., 2013).

Capable of being performed in numerous environments, push coring is just as it sounds. Push coring is simply pushing the core barrel (often an aluminum or polycarbonate tube) into the sediment by hand. A push core is useful in that it causes very little disturbance to the more delicate upper layers of a sub-aqueous sediment.

| Brief Description | Spring and pore fluid chemistry from samples taken by OsmoSamplers |
Continuous fluid samplers (OsmoSamplers) included a 12-membrane pump and one coil of Teflon tubing that was 300-m-long and small bore (1.1 mm ID). The tubing was initially filled with 18 MΩ distilled water. Upon retrieval, the Teflon coil was cut in 1.1 m lengths and the fluid was expelled into hot acid cleaned plastic microcentrifuge tubes. For more information about OsmoSamplers see the instruments page.
The R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-09 (2013 Jason/Sentry Expedition) deployed the OsmoSamplers. They were deployed for almost a full year. The R/V Atlantis cruise AT26-24 recovered the OsmoSamplers. Dorado Outcrop is off the west coast of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean at location 9 degrees 5.5 minutes north, 87 degrees 6.0 minutes west. For more information about operations of this cruise see the expedition reports and cruise information (AT26-24, AT26-09).
Other than converting signal counts, voltages, etc. to concentrations, the data have not been processed further.
BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
* added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* added fields for OsmoSampler_name, date_deployed, date_recovered, location (e.g. Marker_K) from information in comments of original files submitted.
* Date format converted to ISO Date format
OsmoSamplers are long-term osmotically pumped fluid samplers. For more information see the following reference:

Description from NSF award abstract:
Pristine fluids from a typical ridge-flank hydrothermal system have never been sampled, mainly because it has not been possible to locate a site of focused discharge where representative samples could be collected. The PIs have located a small basement feature, Dorado outcrop, on 23 m.y.-old seafloor on the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise that they plan to sample to determine the fluid composition, and to assess the rate of discharge from the outcrop, so that they can quantify the chemical impact of this hydrothermal system. They plan an 18-day expedition that combines the surveying capabilities of the AUV Sentry (bathymetric, sub-bottom sonar, photo mosaics, water column anomalies) and an ocean-class vessel capable of collecting high-quality multi-beam data and CTD samples, and supporting the survey and sampling capabilities of the ROV Jason II for collection of spring and plume fluids, heat flow data, sediment push cores, and still and video photography.

NSF Award Abstract:
In 2010, IODP exp. 327 launched series of experiments based on instrumentation placed in 6 boreholes (Holes 1026B, 1027C, 1301A, 1301B, 1362A, and 1362B) on and near the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JDFR). The experiments were designed to examine hydrological and biological processes in basaltic ocean crust. Major issues to be addressed include overall permeability, the magnitudes, velocity and directions of fluid, solute,and heat transport,constraints on the fluid storage properties of crust, determining how fluid reservoirs respond to seismic perturbations, and investigating the variability, diversity, and metabolism of resident microbial populations. This project will recover sensors and samplers in the instrumented boreholes(CORKs),access data and samples, collect biological incubators placed at depth within the boreholes, and seal the CORKs. All of these activities are needed for the completion of the JDFR experiments
Once the data and samples are retrieved, the PI's will develop new numerical models for the hydrology (permeability, thickness and extent of permeable zones, connectivity, direction of flow, and anisotropy) of ocean crust based on the results of flow tests. T sensors will enable thermal structure to be determined in conjunction with flow parameters. DNA will be analyzed via 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes as well as select full-length Sanger-style sequencing and gene fingerprinting techniques. The PI's will look at diversity, shared species, emergence and disappearance of groups. Metagenomic work will be done on some samples.
Broader Impacts include training of 4 shipboard educators, with an emphasis on recruiting underrepresented groups for these positions, teacher workshops, and special training for undergraduate and graduate students and post-docs. Research team includes grads, undergrads, and post-docs

Description from NSF award abstract:
Pristine fluids from a typical ridge-flank hydrothermal system have never been sampled, mainly because it has not been possible to locate a site of focused discharge where representative samples could be collected. The PIs have located a small basement feature, Dorado outcrop, on 23 m.y.-old seafloor on the eastern flank of the East Pacific Rise that they plan to sample to determine the fluid composition, and to assess the rate of discharge from the outcrop, so that they can quantify the chemical impact of this hydrothermal system. They plan an 18-day expedition that combines the surveying capabilities of the AUV Sentry (bathymetric, sub-bottom sonar, photo mosaics, water column anomalies) and an ocean-class vessel capable of collecting high-quality multi-beam data and CTD samples, and supporting the survey and sampling capabilities of the ROV Jason II for collection of spring and plume fluids, heat flow data, sediment push cores, and still and video photography. These data and samples will be combined hopefully to generate the first well-constrained estimates of hydrothermal flows from Dorado outcrop. This expedition will result in the collection of samples and data from a "fire hose" of ridge-flank, hydrothermal system, challenging the commonly held view that discharge from ridge flank hydrothermal systems occurs primarily from diffuse seeps.

Numerous field, laboratory, and modeling studies have explored the flows of fluid, heat, and solutes during seafloor hydrothermal circulation, but it has been challenging to determine transport rates and flow directions within natural systems. Here we present results from the first cross-hole tracer experiment in the upper oceanic crust, using four subseafloor borehole observatories equipped with autonomous samplers to track the transport of a dissolved tracer (sulfur hexafluoride, SF6) injected into a ridge-flank hydrothermal system. During the first three years after tracer injection, SF6 was transported both north and south through the basaltic aquifer. The observed tracer transport rate of ∼2–3 m/day is orders of magnitude greater than bulk rates of flow inferred from thermal and chemical observations and calculated with coupled fluid-heat flow simulations. Taken together, these results suggest that the effective porosity of the upper volcanic crust through which much tracer was transported is <1%, with fluid flowing rapidly along a few well-connected channels. This is consistent with the heterogeneous (layered, faulted, and/or fractured) nature of the volcanic upper oceanic crust.
