Abstract
Scientific ocean drilling as we now know it is scheduled to end in 2003. The National Science Foundation (NSF) directed the Joint Oceanographic Institution's (JOI) U.S. Scientific Advisory Committee (USSAC) to assess U.S. interest in scientific ocean drilling beyond 2003. The Committee for Post 2003 Scientific Drilling (COMPOST‐II) met at the University of Miami in February 1997 to address the following questions: What research objectives does the scientific ocean drilling community wish to pursue, and what facilities and funds will be required to achieve those objectives? Committee members were chosen carefully to represent as impartially as possible the U.S. Earth sciences community as a whole.
