Diffusion coefficients of helium and argon in unconsolidated deep-sea sediment were determined. The diffusing gas flux through sample sediment was measured by mass spectrometry. The diffusivities in the sample sediment were calculated by a two-layer model, and compared with the ``formation factors'' (resistivity ratios of bulk sediment to the pore water). The linear relationship between resistivity and diffusivity was established, and it was concluded that the resistivity technique provides a simple means of assessing the retardation effect on diffusion by sediment geometrical factors. The molecular diffusion coefficients of helium and argon in water at 2°C were found to be 42 (+/-6) × 10-6 cm2 s-1 and 8.6 (+/-1.2) × 10-6 cm2 s-1, respectively.
