Recent developments in geological sciences and the growing job market in hydrogeology and geological engineering have demanded better training in geophysical instrumentation at the undergraduate level. Two geology courses, Field Geology and Geophysics are being improved by the addition of geophysical field equipment, in particular a gravity meter and a proton magnetometer as well as a portable PC. Geophysical projects are being developed for a field camp, and about 1/3 of the lectures in Geophysics are being replaced by a field laboratory program, which provides students with hands-on experience with geophysical instruments and enhances their knowledge of geophysical methods. Other courses that benefit from the equipment are plate tectonics, geological engineering, structural geology, and independent projects. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.

地质科学的最新发展以及水文地质和地质工程就业市场的不断增长要求在本科阶段提供更好的地球物理仪器培训。通过添加地球物理现场设备，特别是重力计、质子磁力计以及便携式电脑，两门地质学课程“野外地质学”和“地球物理学”得到了改进。正在为野外营地开发地球物理项目，大约1/3的地球物理学讲座正在被野外实验室项目所取代，该项目为学生提供地球物理仪器的实践经验，并增强他们对地球物理方法的了解。其他受益于该设备的课程包括板块构造学、地质工程、构造地质学和独立项目。大学将贡献与该奖项相等的金额。
