Pore water was collected from sediment cores from Holes 1202A and 1202D in the southern Okinawa Trough during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 195. Because drilling at this site was completed only a few hours out of port during the end of the leg, whole rounds of sediment core 5 or 10 cm long were sealed and stored at ~3°C until pore water could be extracted from them during Leg 196, using a titanium squeezer designed by Manheim and Sayles (1974) and standard handling techniques (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2002, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.195.103.2002).
