项目摘要

Geophysical Field Research and Training ProgramThe proposed Geophysical Field Research and Training Program has two complementary objectives. The first is to broaden the geophysical science training facility to include fieldequipment for geophysical surveying. Students will participate in design andacquisition of geophysical surveys using sophisticated equipment, and in the collection of field data using a variety of geophysical methods. The purchase of geophysical equipment will strengthen the University's research and educational infrastructure in geosciences, and help faculty secure future funding for both academic and research projects. Geophysical field research and training will produce data and analysis that can be used as resources for both research and innovative course/curriculum development, hence having potential of improving faculty research productivity and providing students with a responsive learning environment. The second objective is the complete geophysical characterization of a selected field site that will serve as a test case for seismic physical modeling and for computational modeling. It is anticipated that students coming through the proposed summer geophysical field research training program will be well equipped with knowledge and skills to conduct near-surface geophysical surveys using a variety of geophysical methods, hence broadening career paths for persons from underrepresented groups in the environmental, geotechnical, and engineering fields.

地球物理现场研究和培训计划拟议的地球物理现场研究和培训计划有两个互补的目标。首先是扩大地球物理科学培训设施，包括地球物理测量的现场设备。学生将使用先进的设备参与地球物理调查的设计和采集，并使用各种地球物理方法收集现场数据。购买地球物理设备将加强大学在地球科学方面的研究和教育基础设施，并帮助教师获得未来学术和研究项目的资金。地球物理现场研究和培训将产生数据和分析，可用作研究和创新课程/课程开发的资源，因此有可能提高教师的研究生产力并为学生提供反应灵敏的学习环境。第二个目标是对选定现场进行完整的地球物理表征，将其作为地震物理建模和计算建模的测试用例。预计参加拟议的夏季地球物理实地研究培训计划的学生将具备使用各种地球物理方法进行近地表地球物理调查的知识和技能，从而拓宽环境、环境、人口和环境领域代表性不足群体的职业道路。岩土工程和工程领域。
