Scientific objectives :   Science objectives for Leg 205 have two primary foci. The first is the igneous and alteration. history of the basement at reference Site 1039R-A on the incoming plate. The second is on the three hydrological systems: in basement at Site 1039R-A; in the uppermost section of the subducting sediment section at Site 1040R-A; and along the décollement and upper conduit at Sites 1040R-B and 1040R-C. These goals will be accomplished by limited coring of selected intervals, downhole temperature measurements, logging at Site 1039R-A, the installation of long-term observatories to monitor temperature and pressure, and sampling fluids and gases at key hydrological intervals.
