Abstract
A question of great significance is, “What are the properties of the ground?” This is of importance in locating natural resources (such as mineral and oil deposits) and in fundamental studies (such as scientific continental drilling interests). Much prior work has addressed surface and borehole measurements for economically driven natural resource applications. Geophysical measurements to ascertain fundamental properties of the earth have seen less attention. The availability of one or more deep boreholes thus opens new scientific vistas.
