Foreword
Scientific drilling is an indispensable tool of modern Earth science research, as it provides the only means of obtaining direct information on processes operating at depth. Drilling allows for the determination of in-situ properties of solid materials and fluids and permits testing of hypotheses and models derived from surface observations. In addition, drill holes may be used as a natural laboratory for experiments and as observatories for long-term monitoring of on-going active processes....
