Geologists Propose 100 Million Continental Drilling Plan
A group of 31 geologists proposes a 100 million dollar ten year continental drilling program aimed at 32,000 foot holes across earthquake fault zones to study quakes, geothermal systems, and mineral deposits. Led by Shoemaker of Caltech and USGS, the project mirrors deep sea drilling efforts and seeks to understand San Andreas slip dynamics and crustal structure.
