In 1980, when scientists were just beginning to understand what causes volcanoes and earthquakes, a cohort of Cornell geologists began meeting weekly to discuss the new frontier of plate tectonics.The meetings continued for the next 40 years, spawnin

A group of Cornell geologists – known as the Cornell Andes Project – came together in early June to celebrate 40 years of research in South America and their collective success in advancing the understanding of plate tectonics.

Heat Without Fire: Deep Geothermal in the Northeastern U.S.

Heat Without Fire: Deep Geothermal in the Northeastern U.S. December 15 7pm ET  Deep geothermal heat  could transform how energy is provided to communities in the future.  Geothermal is not something often considered in the Northeast due to the depth required to find heat. We, as a society, face the challenges of weaning off of […]

Nearly 175 community members joined a town forum Nov. 3, held in person and online, to hear updates on the Cornell University Borehole Observatory.

Cornell’s exploration into the feasibility of using deep geothermal energy to heat the Ithaca campus has reached a major milestone, with the completion of drilling for the Cornell University Borehole

The Cornell University Borehole Observatory provides a platform to directly study the temperature, permeability and other characteristics of the rock deep beneath the Ithaca campus – factors that will help the university determine whether to move forward with a proposed plan to warm the Ithaca campus with Earth Source Heat.

Cornell is one step closer to determining the feasibility of using deep geothermal energy to heat the Ithaca campus.Drilling for the Cornell University Borehole Observatory (CUBO) began June 21 and is expected to last about two months. The borehole,

Cornell is one step closer to determining the feasibility of using deep geothermal energy to heat the Ithaca campus now that drilling has commenced for the Cornell University Borehole Observatory.
