GRIND

GRIND (Geological Research through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling) is an interdisciplinary, international collaboration of researchers whose overarching goal is to create deep understanding of one of the most pivotal intervals in Earth history. We are supported by the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) and our aim is to acquire an archive of fresh drill core from key Neoproterozoic successions worldwide. The first phase of GRIND is focused on the Ediacaran-Cambrian Transition (GRIND-ECT) in Namibia, Brazil and China... The Geological Research through Integrated Neoproterozoic Drilling (GRIND) initiative is to create a global archive of cores focussed on enhancing understanding of the 1000 - 520 Ma time interval worldwide, the pivotal period in Earth history during which the planet became oxygen-rich and metazoans evolved... We want to see the widest possible range of techniques and approaches brought to bear on the cores and welcome all researchers and..
