Evénements

Diamond drilling and coring, plus downhole logging and experiments, will be planned to address scientific objectives related to (from low temperature to high temperature):

ongoing weathering: serpentinization, carbonate formation, oxidation
ongoing deformation: volume change, fracture processes
hydrology in fractured, altered ophiolite lithologies
sub-surface biosphere in peridotite and mafic lithologies
abiotic hydrocarbon synthesis during water-rock reaction
hydrothermal alteration during ophiolite genesis and emplacement
