Crust, mantle and deep biosphere processes in an active continental graben system
The project "Drilling the Eger Rift", funded by the ICDP, aims to develop the world's most advanced and comprehensive laboratory for the investigation of earthquake swarms (ES), crustal currents, mantle-CO2 and He-degassing as well as processes of the deep biosphere. To achieve a new level of high-frequency, near-source and multiparameter observation of ES and related phenomena, such a laboratory will include a high-frequency 3D seismic array with a set of four shallow bore holes combined with modern continuous real-time fluid observation in depth (shallow bore holes), as well as the investigation of the deep biosphere.
