Abstract

Permeability tests were conducted on core samples from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 315 Site C0001 and Expedition 316 Sites C0004, C0006, C0007, and C0008. Samples from Sites C0001, C0004, and C0008 represent sediments from the megasplay fault region from the Kumano Basin transect off Kii Peninsula, Japan, whereas samples from Sites C0006 and C0007 represent sediments from the frontal thrust region. Measured vertical permeabilities vary from ~2.51 × 10^–19 m² to ~5.26 × 10^–16 m², for a porosity range of 0.28–0.56. Environmental scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the sediment fabric of samples collected adjacent to whole-round samples.
