Introduction
Supplementary Table S1 contains all of the shore-based measurements of [Cl-], δ18O, and
δD on samples from IODP Site U1385 that were used to generate Figures 2-8 in the
manuscript. The data were measured and drift corrected as described in the manuscript
main text. All data are contained in the file “supplementary_table_S1.xls”. δ18O and δD
measurements appear on the tab labeled “Isotope Measurements” while [Cl-]
measurements appear on the tab labeled “Chloride Measurements”. Isotope
measurements are referenced to Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW) in 0/00,
or “per mille”. [Cl-] are in units of g kg-1. Depths are in meters below sea floor (mbsf).
Measurements on samples taken with squeezers are denoted “squeeze” and measurements
on samples taken with Rhizon samplers are denoted “Rhizon”.
