This award provides one-half the funds required to acquire a cryogenic magnetometer system for paleomagnetic research in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Southern California. The magnetometer system will be used in research projects on the magnetochemical studies of rocks and rock-forming sediments to determine the source of their paleomagnetic properties and how these change with time. Other projects using the new system include studies of the paleosecular variations of the earth's magnetic field during the Plio-Pleistocene, microplate tectonic studies of displaced terranes in the southwestern U.S., and magnetostratigraphic measurements of marine and terrestrial sedimentation sequences.

该奖项提供了一半的资金，需要获得一个 用于古地磁研究的低温磁强计系统 南方大学地质科学系 加州。 磁力计系统将用于以下研究项目： 岩石和造岩沉积物的磁性化学研究， 确定其古地磁特性的来源以及如何 这些随时间而变化。使用新系统的其他项目 包括对地球的古长期变化的研究， 上新世-更新世磁场，微板块构造 对美国西南部流离失所者的研究，和 海洋和陆地磁性地层测量 沉积序列
