The MoHole: a Crustal Journey and Mantle Quest

Coordinator — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:24:39 +0100

The 2010 MoHole workshop in Kanazawa, Japan, followed on from several recent scientific planning meetings on ocean lithosphere drilling, in particular the Mission Moho Workshop in 2006 (Christie et al., 2006; Ildefonse et al., 2007), and the "Melting, Magma, Fluids and Life" meeting in 2009 (Teagle et al., 2009). These previous meetings eached consensus that a deep hole through a complete section of fast‐spread ocean crust is a renewed priority for the ocean lithosphere community.
