Being deep underground for science is a weird but wonderful thing. One of only a dozen globally, Boulby Underground Laboratory is the UK’s very own deep underground science facility, located 1.1 km beneath North Yorkshire in the deepest mine in Britain.

Subject to a million times less cosmic radiation than the surface, the underground environment at Boulby facilitates a range of both pure and applied multidisciplinary science, including the search for dark matter, neutrino detector development, the testing of Mars rovers and their technologies, studies of the Earth and the environment, quantum technology research, and much more.
Join Professor Sean Paling and Lauren Mowberry of Boulby Underground Laboratory who, with the help of their subterranean colleagues, give a very special tour of the facility and its science projects by live video link.
