Fennoscandia Arctic Russia - Drilling Early Earth Project
Project Acronym: FAR-DEEP | State: Completed | Expedition ID: 5018
The main scientific goal is to create a self-consistent model explaining the genesis and timing of the abrupt establishment of the modern Earth system through early Palaeoproterozoic time. This will be achieved utilising a multidisciplinary, international research group to study drillcore obtained from Palaeoprotrozoic volcano-sedimentary successions in Fennoscandia.

Getting ready for sampling party starting March 2nd in Trondheim
2008-12-12 Archiving is completed!
3.6 km of core has been split, photographed and lithologically described by logging the core centimeter by centimeter. After months of vigorous activity, the core repository is strangely quiet.
