DIVE borehole 5071_1_B results published

A key paper of project DIVE phase 1 has been recently published. The 578.5 m deep borehole has been fully cored, and numerous downhole logging datasets have been acquired. These provide a very rich, comprehensive overview of the middle portion of the continental lower crust at various spatial scales, and matches well the main lithologies recovered from the borehole. For full details, please read the paper by Li, Caspari, Greenwood et al.: “Integrated Rock Mass Characterization of the Lower Continental Crust Along the ICDP-DIVE 5071_1_B Borehole in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone” published in G-cubed.
