Drilling Within the Critical Zone This review synthesises 30 years of critical zone drilling methodologies for studying subsurface weathering, water storage, and biogeochemical processes. We evaluate drilling techniques, sampling…

The CSD Hydrology and Critical Zone Working Group has published a review in Hydrological Processes synthesizing emerging research objectives to evaluate drilling techniques, sampling strategies, downhole logging approaches, long-term monitoring, and analytical methods. dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp....

Sadie Southwell and Paige Kohler from Michigan State University are sampling cores for paleomagnetic data - this time from the Eastern Basin of Lake Erie. The project focuses on understanding past biogeochemical cycling in the Great Lakes to inform future restoration and water management targets.

The UMN Earth Surface Dynamics class split and described the cores collected at Twin Lake to learn about land use effects on lake sedimentation.

CSD staff took University of Minnesota students in the Earth Surface Dynamics class out to collect surface cores on Twin Lake

CSD Facility staff presented at the Minnesota Earth Science Teachers Association annual conference last week to engage educators in core-focused classroom activities to address 6th and 9th grade science standards.

On Saturday CSD Facility staff cored two sites on Schulz Lake with students from Carleton College. They sampled the full record through the bottom of the lake sediment to the glacial barrier below. Students will work to correlate these cores to those collected last year.

Dan Maxbauer from Carleton College brought his class to the lab yesterday to explore climate records in cores collected at local lakes Schulz and Holland. Students compared these with cores collected across Minnesota and in Lake Tanganyika.

We’ve wrapped up drilling at Crary Ice Rise with 228m of sediment core. This is an unprecedented record of the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet stretching back millions of years. Initial observations indicate the core includes periods of environmental change during past times of warming.

Don't forget to submit an abstract for upcoming @geosociety.bsky.social 2026 section meetings!

If you're attending the 2026 Northeast GSA Meeting in Hartford, CT, consider registering for our short course, "CoreNET—Best Practices in Coring and Analyzing Lake Records".
