EAR-0349894Lund This grant will permit the University of Southern California to augment our current paleomagnetic and rock magnetic facilities through the purchase of three pieces of major equipment. Each of these would significantly expand the overall range of our research capabilities and significantly improve the speed and quality of data acquisition. The three pieces of equipment are as follows: Princeton Measurements Corporation MicroMag Model 2900-02 Alternating Gradient Magnetometer (AGM) with cryostat; AGICO Model KLY-4S Spinner Kappabridge; and D-Tech Model D-2000 Alternating Field Demagnetizer (this system will replace our current 20-year old Schonstedt GSD-1 af demagnetizer). There are three active research programs in the Department of Earth Sciences with several NSF-funded projects that will use these facilities: paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, and environmental magnetism studies of Lund; structure/tectonic studies of Paterson/Lund; geobiology studies of Nealson/Popa.

EAR-0349894Lund 这笔赠款将允许南加州大学通过购买三件主要设备来增强我们当前的古地磁和岩石磁学设施。每一项都将显着扩大我们研究能力的整体范围，并显着提高数据采集的速度和质量。这三台设备如下： 普林斯顿测量公司 MicroMag 型号 2900-02 交替梯度磁力计 (AGM)，带低温恒温器； AGICO KLY-4S 型旋转器 Kappabridge；和 D-Tech D-2000 型交变场消磁器（该系统将取代我们当前已有 20 年历史的 Schonstedt GSD-1 AF 消磁器）。地球科学系有三个活跃的研究项目，其中几个由国家科学基金会资助的项目将使用这些设施：隆德的古地磁学、岩石磁学和环境磁学研究；帕特森/隆德的结构/构造研究；尼尔森/波帕的地球生物学研究。
