Travel Support for US Scientists and Engineers to Attend Second Krafla Magma Drilling Project Workshop, Iceland

该奖项为Krafla岩浆钻探项目（KMDP）的五名美国成员提供旅行资金，以参加该项目？第二次研讨会。会议定于今年9月17日和18日在Landsvirkjun电力公司举行。KMDP是国际大陆科学钻探计划（ICDP）的一个项目，旨在通过取芯、钻孔测量和耦合地面观测来探测Krafla Caldera下的流纹岩岩浆体。冰岛深钻计划（IDDP）通过其破纪录的IDDP-1井意外地遇到了岩浆。IDDP继续寻找超临界流体，这是他们的主要目标。KMDParose是一个新项目，有一个很大程度上新的团队来瞄准岩浆本身。2014年9月，ICDP资助了第一次KMDP研讨会，来自8个国家的约50名科学家和工程师参加了研讨会，讨论如何使用IDDP-1作为？机会之洞？通过它可以取芯。随后，确定机会孔需要是LV钻的一口新井。ICDP暂时接受了KMDP的建议，为取芯作业预留了100万美元，但要求在今年9月28日之前提交一份令人满意的建议附录，详细说明取芯和科学方面的情况。LV慷慨地提供了食物，住宿和会议设施的集团。将有来自多达8个国家的约30名与会者。所有与会者将得到各自机构或国家科学机构的支持。USGS和DOE（国家实验室）的科学家也将参加。

This award provides travel funds for five U.S. members of the Krafla Magma DrillingProject (KMDP) to attend the project?s second workshop. The meeting is scheduled for17 and 18 September this year at Landsvirkjun Power Co.?s (LV) facilities at Burfell,Iceland.KMDP is a project of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP)that seeks to probe, with coring, borehole measurements, and coupled surfaceobservations, the rhyolite magma body under Krafla Caldera. Magma was unexpectedlyencountered by the Iceland Deep Drilling Program (IDDP) through their record-breakingwell IDDP-1. IDDP moved on in search of supercritical fluids, their primary goal. KMDParose as a new project with a largely new team to target the magma itself. ICDP funded afirst KMDP workshop of some 50 scientists and engineers from 8 countries in September2014 to discuss using IDDP-1 as a ?hole of opportunity? through which coring could takeplace. Subsequently, it was determined that the hole of opportunity needed to be a new well drilled by LV. ICDP provisionally accepted the KMDP proposal, setting aside $1million for coring operations, with the caveat that a satisfactory proposal addendum detailing aspects of the coring and science be submitted by 28 September this year.Thus there has arisen a need for a second, smaller, tightly focused workshop concentrating on operational planning. LV has generously offered to provide food, lodging, and meeting facilities for the group. There will be about 30 participants from up to eight countries. All participants will be supported by their respective institutions or national science agencies. There will also be participation by USGS and DOE (National Laboratory) scientists.
