News: Annual Open House at Barcroft, Sunday August 1, 2010 between 6:30 am to 6 pm. Get an inside look at one of North America's most unique scientific facilities. Hiking, lectures, souvenir sales, etc. Details. Barcroft update, July 15, 2010: WMRS staff re-install 68 solar panels on the roof of the Pace lab. After a major effort including about 25 person days of work, all the solar panels but one were re-installed by gluing them directly to the roof surface using many gallons of EPDM adhesive. As of today 40 of the panels are connected to the battery bank and are generating 4 KW of electricity at mid-day: more will be connected soon as parts arrive and staff time permits. details.
