CSD Community Science Planning

The CSD Facility is coordinating efforts across the community to orient toward new opportunities and articulate science-driven needs in the coming years.

Welcome to our 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.

Explore our project dashboard or read more about our Facility to learn more about the work we do.
