1957: Harry Hess and asked themselves, “How could the sciences take a great stride forward?” Munk suggested that they should consider what project, regardless of cost, would do the most to open up new avenues of thought and research. He thought that the taking of a sample of the earth’s mantle would be most significant.

NSF turns down the proposal by American Miscellaneous Society’s feasibility study on “taking of a sample of the earth’s mantle.”

April 1959: William Bascom christens the new project Mohole, in an article in Scientific American “The Mohole.”!

! _! Project Mohole was an attempt to retrieve a sample of material from the earth's mantle by drilling a hole through the earth's to the Mohorovi!i" Discontinuity, or Moho. The project was suggested in March 1957 by Walter Munk, NAS member (1956) and member of the National Science (NSF) Panel.

Project Mohole represented, as one historian has described it, the earth sciences' answer to the space program. If successful, this highly ambitious exploration of the intraterrestrial frontier would provide invaluable information on the earth's age, makeup, and internal processes. In addition, evidence drawn from the Moho could be brought to bear on the question of continental drift, which at the time was still controversial. The Mohorovi!i" Discontinuity marks the boundary between the earth's crust and mantle. (The Moho was named for Andrija Mohorovi!i", a Croatian who first proposed the existence of such a discontinuity. ) The plan was to drill to the Moho through the seafloor, at those points where the earth's crust is thinnest. Attempting such an effort on land would have been impractical, since the drilling equipment would not have withstood the depths and temperatures involved. Ocean drilling offered a further advantage in that undersea samples, undistorted by atmospheric and surface actions, would provide better evidence of long term geological activity than would samples drawn from land.

The American Miscellaneous Society (AMSOC), an informal group of scientists of which Munk was a member, endorsed Munk's idea. The group was formed in 1952 when Office of Naval Research geophysicists Gordon Lill and Carl Alexis found themselves handling research proposals that fit into no existing scientific categories. Out of that "precarious miscellany" AMSOC emerged, as a forum for scientific speculation. When funds for Project Mohole had been obtained from NSF, AMSOC in 1958 took charge of the effort as an official study unit of the National Research Council's Division of Earth Sciences.

Project Mohole was to include three phases, the first consisting of an experimental drilling program, the second consisting of an intermediate vessel program, and the third consisting of the final drilling to the Mohorovi!i" Discontinuity. After ocean-going trials off La Jolla, California, Phase I began in earnest with a set of drillings off Guadalupe, , in March and April 1961. Five holes, one of which extended 601feet beneath the seafloor, were drilled under 11,700 feet of . Cores obtained from the holes showed that the first layer of crust extended 557 feet and consisted of sediment Miocene in age. The second layer of crust was sampled for the first time, and this was found to consist of . After the unprecedented success of Phase I, it was decided to shift operational control to NSF while maintaining the AMSOC Committee as project adviser. This relationship proved to be unsatisfactory, and after a series of negotiations and redefined agreements with NSF, the AMSOC Committee in 1964 dissolved itself. Following the AMSOC Committee's dissolution, two new National Academies committees continued to advise the NSF Mohole activity until Congress, objecting to increasing costs, discontinued the project toward the end of 1966, before Phase II could be implemented.

Although Project Mohole failed in its intended purpose, it did show that deep ocean drilling was a viable means of obtaining geological samples. Since Mohole's demise a number of related programs have been undertaken, the most recent one being the NSF's Ocean Drilling Program. http://www.nationalacademies.org/history/mohole/

BOX 4.1: Quest for the Mantle: MoHole The Mohorovi iƒ Discontinuity, or ‘Moho’ is the fundamental boundary within the upper part of our planet yet we have little knowledge of its geological meaning. New deep drilling technology under devel- opment now make it possible to fulfill scientists’ long term aspiration to drill completely through the oce- anic crust, across the Moho and sample the underlying mantle. In the oceans, the Moho is commonly a bright seismic reflector at 5 to 8 km depth and marks a step change to seismic p-wave velocities (Vp) in excess of 8 km/s. It is generally assumed that the Moho also represents the boundary between mafic igneous rocks crystallized from magmas that form the crust and residual peridotites of the . However, this interpretation has never been tested. There are geologically valid scenarios where the Moho might delineate the boundary between mafic and ultramafic cumulate rocks within the crust or exist below serpentinised peridotites that were previ- ously part of the mantle. Observations and sampling of the Moho, the crust-mantle boundary and the rocks of the upper mantle are fundamental to understanding the and chemical differentia- tion of our planet.

Our principal goal is to drill completely through intact fast spreading oceanic crust into the upper BC+/)(?#"()*+(3-&)5+D(3#E#mantle. On the to the Moho we (figure will make from paradigm-testing draft New Science measurements Plan (2013-2023)) of the! lower oceanic crust and the deep mag- matic, tectonic and hy- drothermal processes that occur at the mid-ocean ridges. A full penetration will provide the first direct estimate of the bulk composition of ocean crust and determine the limits of the deep bio- sphere. Direct observa- tions of the mantle will document how magmas are focused from a broad melting region to a narrow zone of crustal accretion beneath mid-ocean ridges, and quantify tectonic cou- pling between the crust and mantle. We pres- ently have no fresh samples of in situ man- tle and little knowledge of the composition and physical state of the convecting mantle. This scientific endeavour, at the limits of 21st century technol- ogy will create an inspi- rational legacy for generations to come, equivalent to Man’s missions to the Moon.

Description • One of the major goals of the KTB is the elucidation of structure and evolution of the interior zones in a former mountain chain. The drill site near Windischeschenbach is at the boundary between the Saxothuringian and Moldanubian, two major tectonostratigraphic units of the Hercynian fold belt in Central Europe. This boundary is regarded as a suture zone formed by the closure of a former oceanic basin 320 million years ago. This process gave way to a continent- continent collision and the formation of a mountain chain comparable to the today's extension of the Himalayan mountain chain. Today the high mountain relief is eroded and, therefore, once deeply buried rocks are exposed at the surface. Therefore, this area is an ideal place for the study of deep seated crustal processes. • Furthermore, detailed geophysical surface experiments have shown that the area around the drill site is characterized by an anomalous high electrical conductivity and pronounced gravimetric and magnetic anomalies. • Key questions to be addressed by continental deep drilling include the evaluation of fundamental processes occurring in the lithosphere, the outer skin of our planet and resource base for mankind. Among these are the understanding of activities and the formation of ore deposits, important questions in a world of growing population and vast development. The drilling activities near Windischeschenbach form the German contribution to worldwide efforts on understanding our planet. • Major research themes are: o Evaluation of geophysical structures and phenomena o Investigation of the thermal structure of the continental crust o In-situ investigation of rock-fluids and their contribution to formation of ore deposits o Elucidation of structure and evolution of the continental crust o Determination of the earth's stress field o Ultradeep drilling also makes great demands on drilling and borehole measurement technology. Thus, the experience and technical development acquired during the project greatly enhances knowledge in the drilling and service industry.

General KTB and ICDP lessons

Scientific drilling will:

1. take place in extreme difficult environment (volcanoes, faults, seismic zones, impacts, unconsolidated sediments, difficult environs.) 2. be more expensive! (10 – 20% contingency necessity [oil 200%]) 3. start later and take more time! (Planning flexibility) 4. encounter serious drilling problems (Worst case planning) 5. truncate unpredicted lithologies and structures (Falsification of models and predictions)

Necessities for Seismogenic Zone drilling: • Vertical Drilling System, Active Steering System and downhole motors to final depth! • Casing while drilling for loose and instable formations or extended casing scheme with additional casings planned beforehand! • Feasibility investigations for new drilling and coring technologies including e.g. mud temperature and mud pressure adapted to formation temperature and fluid pressure! • Use of (expensive) downhole M/L-WD systems available in oilfield industry (175°C) or alternative HT-HP tools in academia (Mag, Sus, SP, hi-res-image)! >#6%+)(F#5-(!+&%&/C5-(8"%55%&'(!"#J+2)( !

! Drilling To The Core B?!Y0=%8)!Z+8+?+&+A%'$%&B%/!"FE!FGG\!! In Jules Verne's classic 19th-century novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth," Professor Lidenbrock travels to a mysterious subterranean world. Now a Japanese ship is aiming to replicate his adventure, striking out on its own quest to explore the earth's depths. In August, the massive 57,000-metric-ton Chikyu ("Earth"), a cutting-edge deep-sea drilling vessel, left Nagasaki on a test run. Though the Japanese venture may not reveal the prehistoric monsters or hidden oceans that Lidenbrock's journey did, it is hoping to reach unprecedented depths.
