1531745MickusFunding from this Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant will support acquisition of a relative gravimeter to support research and research training in geology and geophysics at Missouri State University, a non-Ph.D. granting institution. The gravimeter would complement other geophysical imaging equipment (e.g. resistivity) at Missouri State and support experiential learning in techniques in exploration geophysics for studies of regional interest thereby fostering their future employability in fields that routinely engage in water, hydrocarbon and mineral deposit studies, an aspect of the proposal that is congruent with NSFs mission of promoting the national welfare.The investigator will employ the relative gravimeter for studies that attempt to define the subsurface location of magmas in both hot spot volcanic settings and on continental volcanoes, definition of the geometry and location rare earth ore deposits in Missouri, and location and study of the subsurface karst features and basinal structures. ***

1531745从这个主要的研究工具（MRI）计划拨款中占用赠款将支持收购密苏里州立大学地质和地球物理学研究和研究培训的相对重量表，非PH.D。授予机构。 重量表将补充密苏里州的其他地球物理成像设备（例如电阻率），并支持勘探地球物理学技术中的技术学习，以促进区域兴趣的研究，从而促进其未来的就业能力，这些领域常规地从事水，水能和矿物质沉积研究，以促进NSFS的一项促进的研究，以促进nsfs的一项研究试图定义岩浆在热点火山环境和大陆火山中的地下位置，密苏里州的几何形状和稀土矿石沉积物的定义，以及地下喀斯特喀斯特特征和盆地结构的位置和研究。 ***
