Event details
The University of York has launched a deep geothermal energy project as a transformative step in its journey to Net Zero.
Seismic survey works
As the next step in our Deep Geothermal Energy Project, a seismic survey will take place on Campus East and surrounding areas in late October 2025.
This important early-stage activity, delivered with our specialist contractor Echo Geo, will build a detailed 3D map of the ground and help us understand the size, shape and depth of the geothermal reservoir beneath our feet. Some parts of the reservoir may lie several kilometres below the surface and beneath the borehole on Campus East, so the survey provides a safe, non-intrusive way to collect data and build a clear picture of the project’s potential energy output.
Seismic Survey Open Day
Come along to our Open Day to find out more about our seismic survey, how it works, how it may affect your area, and opportunities to get involved in this part of the project.
Our team will be available to answer your questions, and you can take part in interactive activities that bring geothermal energy to life in a clear and engaging way.
The Hub Café at the venue will be open until 3:30pm, serving a range of food and drinks.
No booking required, come along on the day.
