In order to evaluate the influence of porosity on the elastic properties of crustal rocks at deep crustal pressures, we performed laboratory measurements of compressional-wave (Vp) and shear-wave (Vs) velocities in a porosity-developed gabbro sample up to 1.0 GPa at room temperature. Based on the measuredVpandVsdata, we evaluated the changes in velocities,Vp/Vs, Poisson's ratio (σ), and total porosity of the rock as a function of pressure. Compared with the ‘porosity-free’ intrinsic elastic values of the gabbro sample, our results suggest that the development of porosity in crustal rocks lowers theirVp,Vs,Vp/Vs, and Poisson's ratio. Deviations (ΔVp, ΔVs, ΔVp/Vs, and Δσ) of the measured values from the intrinsic values are enhanced with increasing porosity. We evaluated the ΔVpfrom previous experimental study on the rocks of Tanzawa plutonic complex providing constraints on interpretation of the seismic velocity profiles of the Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) arc and found a large negative ΔVp(up to − 22.7%) at lower pressures. The intrinsic velocity combined with the measured velocity data at in situ pressure conditions suggest that the ranges ofVp(6.0–6.5 km/s) in the middle crust of the IBM arc reflect the presence of considerable porosity and its closure in intermediate rocks and/or the change of composition from felsic to intermediate in mid-crustal rocks.
