The oxygen and hydrogen isotope compositions of pore waters are controlled by several processes: (1) hyperfiltration-osmotic effects, (2) carbonate deposition, (3) reaction with volcanic ash, and (4) mixing with water that has reacted with basaltic basement. These data are useful to supplement information obtained from shipboard chemical analyses.
