Development of a Laboratory and Field Program for Undergraduate Geophysics Education

这个奖项授予华盛顿大学地球系 《行星科学》是为了回应一项提议， 提交给国家科学基金会的仪器 实验室改进计划。该奖项将提供 购买一台重力仪和两台重力仪所需资金的一半 地震仪该大学致力于匹配NSF 为这台设备捐款。 该设备将用于华盛顿大学的 将地球物理学与地球物理学相结合 实地演练和动手数据收集和分析， 其他课程完全通过讲座教授， 课堂问题解决练习。

This award to Washington University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is made in response to a proposal submitted to the National Science Foundation's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire a gravimeter and two seismographs. The University is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The equipment will be used in Washington University's undergraduate geophysics curriculum to integrate geophysical field exercises and hands-on data gathering and analysis into courses otherwise taught exclusively through lectures and classroom problem-solving exercises.
