Geoscientists Drill Deepest Hole in Ocean Crust in Scientific Ocean Drilling History
For eight weeks beginning in November 2009, off the coast of New Zealand, an international team on board the scientific drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution (JR) investigated sea-level change in a region called the Canterbury Basin. It proved to be a record-breaking trip. The research team drilled four sites in the seafloor. One site marked the deepest hole drilled by the JR on the continental shelf, and another was the deepest hole drilled on a single expedition in the history of scientific ocean drilling.
