Description
The world’s deep underground laboratories are special places for science. The current facilities are hosting a wide range of exciting, international, fundamental science studies and enabling the development of new technologies and techniques of importance and impact far beyond pure low background particle physics. The range of science undertaken in these laboratories is also growing, now including studies in the areas such as Earth and environmental sciences, biology, planetary exploration technology development and beyond. This talk will give an overview of the World’s current deep underground science facilities, the science being undertaken in them now and plans for change and growth at the facilities in the future.
