Pictured left to right: Tom Durkin (SD Space Grant Consortium), Kelly Lane, and 2014 grant winner Steve Gabriel (Spearfish High School,
Spearfish, SD.)  Mr. Gabriel's project involves environmental measurements of temperature; humidity; pressure; and ventilation direction, velocity,
and volume collected by flow meters installed at the 4,850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in the former Homestake
Gold Mine in Lead, SD.  This impressive project implements a network of environmental sampling devises monitored in real-time by Mr. Gabriel’s
high school students, giving them a foothold in an active research environment where universities, doctoral candidates, and national labs operate. 
The project exposes the students to cutting edge research into dark matter and physics.
