In addition to researching data and theory, C.O.R.E. participates in various professional conferences and publications. Bryan College students seem anxious to assist in cave studies. Research began in 1992 with the beginning of the mapping of Grassy Cove Saltpeter Cave. Grassy Cove is located approximately 55 minutes away, and is about 8 miles wide. A geology guide for the cave was written for Summit in the Summer of 1998.
Research continues on cave fossils, cave biology, and cave geology.
A young-age creation perspective on paleobotany has not been produced, nor has a study been made of creation evidences in the vicinity of the 1925 Scopes Trial. Research began in 1989 with collection of fossil plant specimens and initial examination of the geology in Laurel-Snow Falls Pocket Wilderness. A geology guide for pocket was written for Origins98 in February 1998. Research continues on fossils and geology. Hanson Research Station .
