This project will strengthen undergraduate instruction in geophysics, and will create research opportunities for undergraduates through the acquisition of a portable exploration seismograph. The instrument to be purchased is an EG&G Geometrics Model ES-1225 twelve channel exploration seismograph. This unit, which has modern microprocessor technology and digital signal enhancement capability, will replace a 15-year-old single channel seismograph. The new instrument will be used in four undergraduate geophysics courses to teach basic principles of data acquisition in seismic exploration; use of computer software for playback, analysis and interpretation of seismic data; and concepts of digital recording, filtering, and signal enhancement. The unit also will be used by undergraduates for senior thesis research in geophysics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology. This two-year grant of $12,495 will be matched by an equal amount of non-federal funds.

该项目将加强本科生的地球物理教学，并将通过购买便携式勘探地震仪为本科生创造研究机会。购买的仪器是一台EG&G Geometrics ES-1225型十二道勘探地震仪。该装置具有现代微处理器技术和数字信号增强能力，将取代已有15年历史的单通道地震仪。新仪器将用于四门本科地球物理课程，教授地震勘探数据采集的基本原理；使用计算机软件回放、分析和解释地震数据；以及数字记录、滤波和信号增强的概念。该单元还将被本科生用于地球物理、水文地质学和工程地质学的高级论文研究。这笔为期两年的12495美元的赠款将与等额的非联邦资金相匹配。
