Overview

The working group categories and their descriptions have been initially defined through discussion among past science planning participants, CSD Facility Committee members, and facility staff. Participants in each working group may collectively decide to modify category titles or descriptions, form subgroups, and/or make other changes needed to reflect their disciplines.

Energy Transition

This broad category includes the fields of geothermal energy, critical minerals, and geologic hydrogen. 

Working Group Goals

1. Identify and articulate the compelling scientific questions in your discipline that require drilling or coring

2. Summarize projects that would yield answers to these questions

3. Detail the resources needed (funds, equipment, instrumentation, cyberinfrastructure, and others) to implement the anticipated projects

Your role in this working group is to work jointly with colleagues to develop this vision, with the primary output to be a short manuscript for submission to a journal to be defined by your working group. 

Discussion Forum

Discussion Forum will be linked here - or on subpages related to specific documents, depending on the working group.
