This study was primarily conducted to determine if a 105ºC drying temperature had overestimated the shipboard water content and porosity values of sediment from Holes 991A, 995A, and 996E during Leg 164. Water contents were determined at sea by drying metal beakers filled with sediment in a convecti...
