Organization profile
The Continental Scientific Drilling (CSD) Facility is multi-user facility funded by the National Science Foundation to provide leadership and services for the communities of scientists requiring drilling, coring, and subsurface surveys and monitoring on Earth’s continents, including in lakes and coastal areas. The CSD Facility supports hundreds of projects annually through activities including project development; logistics and contracting; field operations management; core facility for scanning, splitting/slabbing, subsampling, and characterization; subsample preparation and analysis; rental and sales of specialized equipment and supplies; stewardship of samples, data, publications, and reference collections; cyberinfrastructure development; physical infrastructure development; outreach, diversity, and education; and community coordination and science planning.
