Determing the geothermal potential of a region? Locating shale gas or geological layers for CO2 storage? Reconstructing climate change in the past? Not without drilling cores!

Kentucky Geological Survey to Host Open House at Rock and Sample Facility

Academic, industry and government researchers are encouraged to learn more about KGS' core collection at an open house Friday, Feb. 15.

It never occurred to me that, of course, geologists would need libraries of rock cores and samples in order to do research that spans both time and place.

Please RSVP by Monday, Feb. 11. More information is available at https://www.uky.edu/KGS/news/core-library-openhouse-2019.php
