OSU P-mag Lab visits Western Washington University

The P-mag lab is lucky to have REU student Elizabeth Patterson visit from Bates College this summer and work on the particle size specific magnetic properties of Gulf of Alaska margin sediments. In support of this project, Rob, Brendan, Leah, and Elizabeth spent this week visiting the Pacific Northwest Paleomagnetism Laboratory at Western Washington University. After a month of prepping samples by Elizabeth and OSU undergrad Chong Seok Choi, it was great to see really interesting results!

Thanks a lot to Bernie Housen and Russ Burmester for all their help and hospitality!
