Objective:
|
• Characterize upper basaltic crust and hydrologic properties
• Conduct cross-borehole hydrologic and geochemical experiments
• Install long-term borehole observatory (pressure, geochemistry, microbiology)
|
|
Drilling and Logging program:
|
• Remove existing borehole observatory (CORK)
• Deepen hole
• May conduct packer experiments
• Install new long-term borehole observatory
