| Summary: | We appreciate that many of you have commented favorably on the first two issues of Scientific Drilling. Respondents have frequently expressed delight, and often surprise, at learning about the remarkable breadth and scope of scientific projects that employ drilling as a means of studying the Earth and its environments. This third issue of the journal is no exception, spanning topics from extraterrestrial impact events over gas hydrates to fluid flow in both shallow and deep crustal settings. In addition, we are pleased to introduce in this issue yet another international scientific drilling program—ANDRILL. This Antarctic drilling program will recover sediment cores from beneath the ice shelf, tracking the history of Antarctic ice-sheet variation and evolution back in time to well before the date of the oldest preserved ice in Antarctica. We editors are no less impressed than the readers by the diversity of scientific drilling and the technology applied, but also note that |
