In December, there was a fire in Burt Hall. Thankfully, the P-mag Lab survived with very minimal damage, but the building around us needs a lot of work. So today, Joe, Brendan and our friends Dave and Chris from 2-G Enterprises took apart the magnetometer and moved it to the new Marine and Geology Repository being built at Oregon State. Everything went well and we are looking forward to being up and running again in a few months. Check out some pictures of the move below.
