Hangzhou: Second Institute of Oceanography (MSCL #106)

Hangzhou was the next stop on the Geotek Far East Tour, where Peter and Melanie installed an MSCL at the Second Institute of Oceanography. This MSCL also has gamma density, P-wave velocity, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical resistivity sensors.

A quick stop at Zhejiang University allowed a meeting with a group of engineers at the Key Laboratory for Fluid Power Transmission and Control who are developing a 30-metre pressure corer--wow! However, nobody was working during the total eclipse, which was presided over by Chairman Mao.
