Nielsen² and Martin R. Fisk² Abstract Specific surface area (SSA) was measured on 13 samples of basalt recovered from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 301 Hole U1301B drilled on the east flank of Juan de Fuca Ridge. SSA ranged from 0.3 to 52 m²/g. SSA is positively correlated with porosity and inversely correlated with bulk density and P-wave velocity. Excluding two breccia samples (with SSAs of 29 and 52 m²/g), the average SSA was 2.3 m²/g. ¹Nielsen, M.E., and Fisk, M.R., 2008.
