Ocean drilling: Digging in
A new ship and a wave of funding will let scientists drill where they have never been able to drill before, from near the North Pole to the rocks lying beneath Earth's crust. Rex Dalton and David Cyranoski report.

Geological Applications of Wireline Logs
This volume provides extensive documentation of the diversity of geological and geophysical problems which can be addressed by wireline log data. High-density/high-resolution log measurements now appear to be an integral part of the characterization of petroleum reservoirs; there is increasing interest in the use of logs for quantitative determinations of the physical properties of rocks; there is also abundant evidence for the importance of integrating geological and geophysical data at different scales and the potential benefits of mult idiscipl inary approaches to problem solving.
