About the Division

GSA's Continental Scientific Drilling Division was founded in 2016 to advance the exploration and investigation of the Earth's continental subsurface through scientific drilling. Our mission:

To provide a community for GSA members that use scientific drilling in their research
To foster communication and collaboration between scientists from across the GSA divisions who use scientific drilling to study the Earth's subsurface
To support workshops, symposia, sessions, and other activities that educate GSA members and promote research using scientific drilling
To advise officers and committees of the Society on issues relevant to continental scientific drilling.
