**************************************************************************************************************** Project Hotspot From: John Shervais <john.shervais@xxxxxxx> **************************************************************************************************************** FOR POSTING ON THE VOLCANO LIST SERVE PAGE: Project Hotspot - the Snake River Scientific Drilling Project, is investigating the volcanic history of the Snake River volcanic province with three deep drill holes -- two in the central Snake River Plain near Twin Falls, and one in the western SRP near Mountain Home, Idaho. The first drill hole (Kimama) is located on the central volcanic axis and produced over 1900 meters of basalt core. The second hole (Kimberly) is currently being drilled on the margin of the plain through a mixed section of rhyolite, basalt, and sediment; current depth is ~650 meters. The project is described in more detail at the website: http://www.usu.edu/geo/shervais/Shervais-USU-Geology/Project_Hotspot.html RSS and FACEBOOK feeds To get updates on the progress of drilling and core return, we have two project information sites: the Project Hotspot news page on the International Continental Scientific Program's website, and a Project Hotspot Facebook page.

"Unlike" makes it all go away. This is an "Official Page" so there are no friends, just like or not. That means other people's stuff won't show up on it, just project updates. If you are not a Facebook person, you can simply bookmark this link and use it as a normal webpage. Direct inquiries to John Shervais at Utah State University.
