Glasgow Observatory Virtual Tour
The UK Geoenergy Obervatory at Cuningar Loop in Glasgow, run by the British Geological Survey, offers scientists an unprecedented window into the subsurface. Data from 12 boreholes, fitted with state-of-the-art sensors, will help improve our understanding around the use of warm water from abandoned mines as a renewable heat energy source for homes and buildings. The observatory was commissioned by UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI’s) Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) on behalf of the academic community.
