* = value was determined colorimetrically aboard ship, † = value was determined postcruise via ICP-OES. Volumes are crude approximates only. Nacharge is the Na value that we calculate from charge balance based on Cl, Br, sulfate, alkalinity, Mg, K, and Ca balance. DNU = silicon data for ICP-OES not used because of disagreement with colorimetric analyses as described in Expedition 331 Scientists (2011b). Bottom water values were calculated based on the chlorinity of samples from the uppermost ~1 mbsf from Sites C0014, C0015, and C0017 (n = 4) and assuming that the elements are in constant proportion to chloride; we also make the assumption that chlorinity and chloride are the same.
