In situ electrical resistivity and bulk porosity of the oceanic crust costa rica rift

ABSTRACT _In situ_ electrical resistivity was measured in DSDP Hole 504B to a depth of 1,013 m into oceanic basement. Apparent resistivities are about 10 Ω m in about 600 m of pillow lavas,

sharply increasing to nearly 1,000 Ω m in the underlying dykes. Bulk porosities calculated from resistivities show a distinct layering, apparently corresponding to geophysical layers 2A, 2B

and 2C. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
