Upgrading of Paleomagnetic Laboratory at the University of Florida

该奖项将提供54%的收购成本， 超导岩石磁力仪和热退磁器系统 用于地球科学中的古地磁研究。的 仪器系统将在 佛罗里达大学地质系。 大学承诺提供其余46%的资金 必需的. 这一新系统的获得将构成一个重大的 提高地球物理实验室古地磁学实验室的能力 佛罗里达大学，并将允许该集团从事 小磁芯和槽形磁芯的磁化研究， 研究了沉积物中铁矿物的成岩作用， 详细的磁性地层学研究。

This award will provide 54% of the cost of acquiring a superconducting rock magnetometer and thermal demagnetizer system for use in paleomagnetic research in earth sciences. The instrument system will be operated and maintained in the Department of Geology at the University of Florida-Gainesville. The University is committed to providing the remaining 46% funds required. The acquisition of this new system will constitute a major upgrade of capabilities for the paleomagnetics laboratory at the University of Florida and will allow the group to engage in research on magnetization in small cores and channel cores to study the diagenesis of iron minerals in sediments and for detailed magnetostratigraphic studies.
