Contributions to the 6. annual KTB-colloquium Geoscientific results

The 6th annual colloquium of the Priority Program 'Kontinentales Tiefbohrprogramm der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (KTB)', established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), was held in Giessen. Currently, over 350 scientists from more than 50 institutes are working on KTB samples and logging data within the framework of this program. At present, the DFG funds some 73 KTB-related research projects. In addition, almost 50 scientific groups in 12 different countries are involved in the KTB project. This report provides an overview of all recent research activities. Part A summarizes the results obtained in the KTB field laboratory, at the drillsite in Windischeschenbach, Bavaria. Part B deals with the complete spectrum of scientific studies carried out by the different working groups. Part C introduces aspects of drilling technology, the drilling mud system, borehole measurements, data acquisition and the KTB information system. An outlook on planned future investigations, after completion of drilling operations, is also given.
