After successful completion of ICDP Expedition 5071-1 (DIVE 1), we are pleased to announce an online workshop to bring together members of the Earth Sciences community to initiate scientific discussions on goals and strategies for a full drilling proposal of DIVE 2.
DIVE 2 targets the continental Moho transition zone, a major boundary of the Earth’s interior, being the geophysical divide/connector between crust and mantle, and many related themes. The drilling target of DIVE 2 is in Val Sesia (N-Italy) where a major geophysical anomaly is within reach (1±1 km b.s.l.) for deep continental scientific drilling.

Scientists interested to participate in the workshop should send an email to othmar.muntener(at)unil.ch by July 6th to get a ZOOM link for the meeting. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to participate – it is your chance to be actively involved in preparing a full drilling proposal to ICDP.
