The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program's (ICDP) Expedition (FAR-DEEP) successfully completed drilling operations on the Fennoscandian Shield resulting in recovery of 3650 m of core from 15 holes drilled through sedimentary and volcanic formations recording several global environmental changes spanning the time interval 2500–2000 Ma, including the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). The core has been archived, and sampled by an international team of scientists, and the project has moved to the advanced research phase. The first significant outcome of the FAR-DEEP is a three-volume treatise (ca. 1500 pages) entitled «Reading the Archive of Earth's Oxygenation» scheduled by Springer for printing in August 2012.
