This award provides support for upgrading the University of Utah field system for magnetotelluric sensing. Natural variations in the Earth's magnetosphere send electromagnetic (EM) signals into the solid earth that can be used to measure conductivity and other electromagnetic properties and, in turn, to build models of geological structure at depth. The University of Utah EM field system is considered to be one of the leading instrumental systems for EM geophysical sounding in the U.S., and the upgrade involved in this project will provide an improvement in their signal-to-noise ratio and will allow continuous E-field profiling capabilities.

该奖项为升级犹他大学的大地电磁传感现场系统提供支持。地球磁层的自然变化将电磁(EM)信号发送到固体地球，这些信号可以用来测量传导性和其他电磁特性，进而建立深层地质结构的模型。犹他大学的电磁场系统被认为是美国领先的电磁地球物理测深仪器系统之一，该项目涉及的升级将提高它们的信噪比，并允许连续的电磁场剖面能力。
