Summary
My current role is part of the UK Geoenergy Observatories project (UKGEOS; formerly known as the Energy Security & Innovation Observing System for the Subsurface – ESIOS) and involves the founding and supervision of a new Core Scanning Facility located within the National Geological Repository (NGR) at the British Geological Survey (BGS) in Keyworth. High-resolution core scanning becomes more and more an essential tool for non-destructive and continuous property analysis of drill cores; benefiting almost any engineering and geoscientific studies. A promising technique that will soon be available here at the BGS in Keyworth
