DIGGIN DEEP: Scientists are planning to drill through the Earth's crust to retrieve a sample of mantle.
Six Colby undergraduates, including first-year student Kayla Diaz, presented their research at the Geological Society of
America annual meeting and expo in Denver Oct. 31-Nov. 2.
Geologists in the UK have recorded the impact of today's major earthquake, off the coast of Japan, using sophisticated equipment. The magnitude 8.9 quake east of Honshu on March 11, 2011 was recorded on a SEIS-UK seismometer. It shows three traces that measure movement of Earth’s surface in the vertical, north-south and east-west direction.

Geologists, led by Wilfred Elders, were drilling an exploratory geothermal well in 2009 in the Krafla volcano in Iceland when they encountered a problem they were simply unprepared for: magma (molten rock).
(University of California - Riverside) Geologists drilling an exploratory geothermal well in 2009 in the Krafla volcano, Iceland, encountered a problem they were unprepared for: magma which flowed into the well at 2.1 kilometers depth, forcing the researchers to terminate the drilling.
