This is my favourite bit of encouraging peer assessment, from another table marking, @ProfVicSimms.

The project is examining shallow and deep geothermal potential at the Stormont Estate, Belfast and @DiscoverCAFRE Greenmount Campus.
The film ‘digs deeper’ into Northern Ireland’s untapped potential for geothermal energy right beneath our feet, engaging with businesses, academics, homeowners and students along the way!
