A science plan identifies the compelling scientific questions in the coming decade requiring drilling or coring activities, and the infrastructure (drilling tooling, downhole survey equipment, lab instrumentation, cyberinfrastructure, etc.) required to meet the scientific goals. These plans prioritize resource development by the CSD Facility, and give funding agencies a roadmap for upcoming community scientific needs. Here you will find an archive of white papers and related publications relevant to the development of the CSD Community Science Plan.

Additionally, during  the Integration Summit we created this document to share information about recent and future CSD projects: CSD Projects.pdf
