Two SDDP projects got their ICDP workshop proposals approved this year. This implies that the workshop proposals were judged to be of high quality and the science of global significance. The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) will now support workshops for these SDDP projects with the aim to establish a comprehensive international working group and elaborate and decide on the scientific programme. The two approved projects are:

Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC). The workshop, with a short excursion for the invited scientists, is planned for early summer 2010 in a place nearby the planned drillsites.

Postglacial Fault Drilling Project (PFDP). The workshop will be organized in 2010.
