The Toa Baja Drilling Project, Puerto Rico: Scientific drilling into a non-volcanic island arc massif

The Toa Baja Drilling Project was a broad, interdisciplinary experiment to document the in situ geology and geophysics of a non‐volcanic island arc massif. This overview provides a brief summary of oil exploration on Puerto Rico that lead up to the present investigation, and summarizes some of the p...
