Abstract
T he workshop was aimed at discussing the scientif ic goals that would justif y deep drilling in the western part of the Eger Rift area (Fig. 1). The Eger Rift, located in the northwestern part of the Bohemian Massif, is a key site that has attracted the international geoscience community for many decades. The rift is the result of young, deep-seated geodynamic processes manifested by episodic Cenozoic volcanism (the youngest at 0.2–0.5 Ma), repeated earthquake swarms, numerous mineral springs, CO2 emissions with high 3He content, and abundant mofettes. T he crust– mantle boundary (27 km) and lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (80–90 km) are shallow compared to the conditions below the Bohemian Massif. Also, surface heat flow (60–80 mW m -2 ) within the rift zone is higher than within
