Projectdescription
A large number of scientists in Germany is therefore actively involved in Scientific Drilling or shape the major research programs such as the ICDP and IODP. GESEP serves as a network of competence and coordinator in this field, including the terrestrial, marine and glacial realm. Formerly organized as GESEP Consortium e.V., GESEP became a working group of the German Geological Society.
The working group is the focal point for all questions regarding research using drilling for scientists, students, industry, media and the public. GESEP initiates and supports projects in terms of science, drilling engineering and management of projects. Further key efforts center around education and training. GESEP organizes training courses to get the next generation of scientists in touch with the practical demands in Scientific Drilling during operations and in the lab.
