Sampling:
|
No marine drilling, Kegnaes-1 ~20 km south of site (deep well; hydrocarbon search). No hydrocarbon shows.
|
Objective (see text for details):
|
To drill and sample the most complete stratigraphic Baltic Sea Basin sediment section to reconstruct the climate and glacial history of northern Europe during the Last Glacial cycle.
|
Drilling Program:
|
Up to 3 × APC to refusal, XCB to target depth and up to 5 short cores to capture the upper 0.75 m of the sequence undisturbed. One additional core for the deep biosphere theme.

Downhole logging program:
|
Standard logging suite: neutron-porosity, lithodensity, gamma ray, resistivity, acoustic, and formation image.
|
Anticipated lithology:
|
Unconsolidated clays and sand; Eemian mud.
