Aleksey, Marine, and Gabriel (L to R) are happy after successful helium transfer in June 2024. Marine visited us from New Mexico.

Gabriel Ahrendt presents his research at the meeting of the Institute for Lake Superior Geology (May 2024).

A sesquiennial (i.e., conducted every 1.5 years) liquid helium refill of the 760-R magnetometer is always an exciting moment in the lab life. Daniel Trekas, Adren Rigdon, Katie Bristol, and Gabriel Ahrendt (left to right) are standing by for transfer 2019.

Leonid Surovitckii, Marine Foucher, and Aleksey Smirnov are preparing for helium transfer 2017.

Geoff Lerner and Marine Foucher measure the structural attitude of Jacobsville sandstone.

An undergraduate researcher, Ashley Kern measures the orientation of paleomagnetic cores taken from the central part of Coldwell Complex (Ontario, Canada, 2012).

Daniel Nevins (Geology) awaits his turn to be transfered to another sampling location on Isle Royale. People, equipment, food, etc. had to be moved in canoes (seen in the back).

Aleksey Smirnov (front) and Chad (Danford) Moore (an undergraduate researcher) sampling in the UP (2009). Prof. Jimmy Diehl enjoys the spring sun in the back.

An undergraduate researcher, Elissa Barris, sets up an experiment on the alternating gradient magnetometer (2010).

Elissa was the winner of the 2010 Provost Award for Scholarship. This is a highly competitive and prestigious University-wide award; only one awardee is selected every year among the undergraduate students from all the departments
