Description

The MACCS (Magnetometer Array for Cusp and Cleft Studies) project is a joint
venture between the Augsburg College Physics Department and Boston University's Astronomy
Department to study natural interactions in the Earth's space environment. Since 1991,
faculty and students at the two colleges have worked together to build, calibrate and
install magnetometers and computer-based recording systems at eight villages at the northern
end of Hudson Bay, on Baffin Island and on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Supported by grant
ATM-0827903 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric Sciences.
