OBJECTIVE

DOSECC, Inc. acted as the general contractor for the NSF-funded Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project, conducted by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology in collaboration with the University of California at Berkeley and California Institute of Technology. The objective of the research is to sample an extended sequence of lava flows from a “hot spot” volcano and to analyze these samples to better understand the geologic history of Hawaii and of the processes by which the Hawaii volcanoes form.

Drilling, using the Hybrid Core Drilling Rig, commenced on March 15, 1999 near Hilo, Hawaii. Daily history of the project is posted an the ICDP website.
