If drilling big holes for scientific research is your thing, I suggest https://usoceandiscovery.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Cascadia-Report.pdf https://usoceandiscovery.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Casc... as an interesting read about earthquakes and tsunamis.
A quick summary:
> Geophysical and hydrological observatories in sealed boreholes provide a powerful tool to understand the hydrology of crustal formations, a means measure the hydrologic signal from changes in volumetric strain, and a stable site for high quality seismic and geodetic instrumentation.
This data is not just useful on its own, but also when correlated to other research. For example, 400+ years ago there was a large earthquake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake) off the US Pacific Northwest coast (and corresponding tsunami in Japan) that is referenced.
