Drilling and coring program:
|
• Hole A: APC to ~200 mbsf with non-magnetic core barrels and core orientation
• Hole B: APC to ~200 mbsf with non-magnetic core barrels
• Hole C: APC/XCB to 780 mbsf with non-magnetic core barrels
• Hole D: APC/XCB to 425 mbsf with non-magnetic core barrels
• See “Drilling and coring strategy” and Table T2

|
Downhole measurements program:
|
• Hole A: APCT-3 (SET if needed) formation temperature measurements
• Hole C: wireline logging with triple combo, FMS-sonic, VSI, and Magnetic Properties tool strings
• See “Downhole measurements strategy” and Table T2

Anticipated lithology:
|
Mud (possibly diatom rich), silt, fine sand, volcanic ash, ice-rafted debris, basalt
