The deepest underground laboratory in the United States just finished an overhaul of a wooden mine shaft that transports personnel and supplies nearly a mile underground.
Since 2012, Spearfish High School science teacher Steve Gabriel, has been leading a student mentorship program that gives his students hands-on, real-world experience in monitoring the underground airflow at SURF.
Davis-Bahcall Scholars travel the world for four weeks each summer touring cutting-edge research facilities and meeting scientists who are leading their fields.
