Collaborative Research: Development of a Facility for Global Lake Drilling and Testing in the Bonneville Basin

该合同用于GLAD 800钻井系统的测试作业，将在犹他州的熊湖和大盐湖进行。该项目将是明尼苏达大学、亚利桑那大学和DOSECC公司之间的合作项目。（钻探观测和大陆地壳取样）。GLAD 800系统是专门为满足陆地古气候社区的需要而设计的，它在大型湖泊上进行钻探作业，以获得沉积物岩心，提供大陆气候档案。钻井系统的资本成本由国际大陆钻井计划提供，该合同用于测试该系统，将通过在熊湖和大盐湖钻井和获取岩心来完成。

This award is for a testing operation for the GLAD800 drilling system, to be performed in Bear Lake and the Great Salt Lake, Utah. The project will be a collaboration among the University of Minnesota, the University of Arizona, and DOSECC, Inc. (Drilling Observation, and Sampling of the Earth's Continental Crust). The GLAD800 system is specifically designed to meet the needs of the terrestrial paleoclimate community by performing drilling operations on large lakes in order to obtain sediment cores that provide an archive of continental climate. The capital costs of the drilling system are being provided by the International Continental Drilling Program, and this award is for the testing of the system, to be accomplished by drilling and obtaining cores in Bear Lake and Great Salt Lake.
