Technical Report · Mon Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:6047569

The purpose of this report is to review the activities of the Continental Scientific Drilling Committee toward developing a national continental scientific drilling program. The report primarily describes the activities and plans of the committee and its panels, and it is intended to provide an update for those who participated in the Workshop, a review for persons from agencies supporting the committee, and background information for persons having a potential future role in the committee's functions. The basic objective of the Continental Scientific Drilling Committee (CSDC) is to implement the recommendations in the report Continental Scientific Drilling Program (1979). Federal agencies support drilling activities on land costing approximately $500 million per year. The substantial numbers of holes drilled by the agencies involve a wide range of geological terranes and objectives, but the objectives for any single hole are normally narrowly defined.
