Continental Scientific Drilling Facility
Support for researchers who core and drill on land and in lakes
Welcome to our new site!
We are excited to announce that we have completed the merger of LacCore and CSDCO into the Continental Scientific Drilling (CSD) Facility. All functions of both facilities are maintained under the new name and single focal point for all types of research involving coring and drilling on land and in lakes.

Plan
Whether you're already an expert in the field or just beginning the research process, we are here to help you prepare projects large and small.

Collect
We can connect you with the field equipment, supplies, and services you need to do your field work effectively.

Analyze
Use our facilities to process and scan your cores and collect the data you need to answer your research questions.

Archive
The CSD Facility curates cores and other samples from any continental location, reference collections, and an extensive data and publication archive.
