Drilling deep into the earth holds a fascination for earth
scientists derived in part from the fact that the drill hole is the
ultimate test of a hypothesis. When surface exploration methods
have been fully uti lized and all the geological inferences drawn
about the structure be neath the surface, we must finally drill to
sample directly the third dimension of the crust of the earth. The
drill is thus the tool of choice of the energy and minerals re
sources industry. Because of high cost, drilling has been only
sparing ly used for solving fundamental problems in the earth
sciences. But now, having used the quite sophisticated methodology
of exploration geophysics, the exciting structural detail emerging
from seismic re flection profiling in particular has led several
nations to begin a major program of scientific drilling to solve
some of the major prGb lems in the earth sciences. Hhat is
described in this volume are the blueprints for national re search
programs in France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan and the
United States. The Soviet Union has already embarked on a major
drilling effort, the results of which are soon to be published.
Results, of course, are still few, and this first volume is more
concerned with the problems to be solved."
