20-minute talk + 10-minute questions
The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) with its vast underground footprint provides opportunities for research activities beyond astroparticle physics, rare event searches and neutrino physics. SURF is hosting biology research focusing on microorganisms in extreme environments, biofilms, as wells as astrobiology and in-situ cultivation. A brief overview of the research currently performed at SURF will be presented. The facility’s unique characteristics present a number of opportunities, and applications from new experiments and groups are welcome.
