Workshop: Developing the US Initiative in Continental Scientific Drilling

对大陆岩石的钻探在许多基础和令人兴奋的科学领域提供了原本无法获得的独特信息：古气候和磁场的准确时间序列历史记录、地震、火山和撞击现象深度的关键观测、关于地球生物圈的信息以及具有社会重要性的问题。这次研讨会将把大陆科学钻探界的成员聚集在一起，落实上一次研讨会提出的建议，该研讨会强调只有通过钻探才能取得科学进步。它的目的不仅是让可持续发展委员会社区成员参与讨论，还包括平行实体和重叠社区的代表以及供资机构的代表，旨在加强钻探社区并规划未来的研究、必要的设施和资金支持。

Drilling into continental rocks provides unique information, otherwise unavailable, on many areas of fundamental and exciting science: exact time-series historical records of paleoclimate and the magnetic field, key observations at depth of seismic, volcanological and impact phenomena, information on the geobiosphere, and questions of societal importance. This workshop will bring members of the continental scientific drilling community together to implement recommendations from a previous workshop that emphasized the scientific advances possible only through drilling. It is intended to engage not only members of the CSD community but also representatives of parallel entities and overlapping communities and representatives of funding agencies in a discussion directed at enhancing the drilling community and planning for future research, necessary facilities, and funding support.
