This award provides one-half the funding needed to acquire and install a modern cryogenic rock magnetometer in the Department of Marine Geology and Geophysics at the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Miami. The remaining funds necessary will be provided by the University of Miami, which is committed to establishing a paleomagnetism research laboratory. The new instrument will be used primarily to investigate the origin of magnetization of organic matter in sediments and its application to magnetostratigraphy (precise dating of sediment layers by their location in a calibrated sequence of magnetization cycles).

该奖学金为迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院海洋地质与地球物理系购置和安装一台现代低温岩石磁力计提供了一半的资金。其余必要的资金将由迈阿密大学提供，该大学致力于建立一个古地磁研究实验室。新仪器将主要用于研究沉积物中有机质磁化的起源及其在磁地层学中的应用（通过校准的磁化循环序列中的位置精确确定沉积层的年代）。
