Active Volcanic Systems

  • Chapter
Continental Scientific Drilling

Abstract

Drilling into volcanic systems has already yielded important results concerning the structure and history of volcanic systems, and the transport of magma and heat within them. These lines of investigation should be continued so that all common kinds of volcanic systems are explored. Although the engineering and safety challenges are large, the ultimate scientific goal, with potential geothermal energy and hazard mitigation benefits, is to cross the solidus frontier into magma.
