| Summary: | The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD)project is yielding new insight into the San Andreas Fault (Zoback et al., 2010; Zoback et al., this issue). SAFOD drilling started in 2002 with a pilot hole, and proceeded with three phrases of drilling and coring during the summers of 2004, 2005, and 2007 (Fig. 1). One key component of theproject is curation, sampling, and documentation of SAFOD core usage at the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) Gulf Coast Repository (GCR) at Texas A&M University. We present here the milestones accomplished over the past two years of sampling Phase III core at the GCR. |
