  abstract = {{T}he {C}olonia {D}eep {D}rilling {P}roject held its first {I}nternational {C}ontinental {S}cientific {D}rilling {P}rogram ({ICDP}) workshop in {S}eptember 2014 at the {U}niversity of {S}ao {P}aulo ({B}razil). {T}wenty-seven experts from six countries discussed the feasibility and the expectations of a deep drilling in the structure of {C}olonia located at the southwestern margin of the city of {S}ao {P}aulo. {A}fter presenting the studies performed at the site during the last decades, participants focused on the objectives, priorities and detailed planning for a full deep-drilling proposal. {A}n excursion to the site and new auger coring showed the importance of the {C}olonia site for studying the evolution of a tropical rainforest and to evaluate the interplay between the {S}outh {A}merican summer monsoon, the {I}ntertropical {C}onvergence {Z}one ({ITCZ}) and the southern {W}esterlies belt during the last 5 million years. {I}n addition, deep drilling will eventually solve the still unresolved issue of the origin of the structure of {C}olonia as a result of meteorite impact or endogenous processes.},
