1039421PetronisThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports acquisition of a thermal demagnetizer and ancillary paleomagnetic lab equipment to support research and research training in the Department of Natural Sciences at New Mexico Highlands University. A new ASC thermal demagnetizer will replace an inoperative thermal demagnetizer in the PIs lab and will support a wide range of paleomagnetic investigations including studies of magma flow dynamics based on magnetic fabric measurements, paleogeographic investigations of Neoproterozoic glacial deposits preserved in the high Arctic, and Quaternary paleoenvironmental studies of lacustrine deposits. NMHU is a Hispanic serving institution (56% of the student body is Hispanic) and has a documented record of recruiting students into STEM fields.***

1039421Petronis这项主要研究仪器 (MRI) 计划拨款支持购买热消磁器和辅助古磁实验室设备，以支持新墨西哥高地大学自然科学系的研究和研究培训。 新型 ASC 热消磁器将取代 PI 实验室中不起作用的热消磁器，并将支持广泛的古地磁研究，包括基于磁性织物测量的岩浆流动力学研究、北极高地保存的新元古代冰川沉积物的古地理研究以及第四纪研究湖泊沉积古环境研究。 NMHU 是一所西班牙裔服务机构（56% 的学生是西班牙裔），并拥有招收 STEM 领域学生的记录。***
