Hugh Barron and Professor Zoe Shipton talk about drilling the first UK Geoenergy Observatories borehole in Glasgow, and collecting the core material.
Drilling, coring and sampling in Glasgow is all part of the project to realise the UK Geoenergy Observatories. The UK Geoenergy Observatories are being delivered by the BGS for the whole of the UK science community to conduct important research that will improve our knowledge of the underground environment.
The Glasgow observatory will look at the chemistry, physics and biology in and above the flooded mine workings below the east end of the city, looking at how heat of the mine water might be used as a renewable energy source and support decarbonisation of the UK energy systems and towns and cities built on coal across the globe.
