Instrumentation for Geophysics Field Programs

地质科学的最新发展以及水文地质学和地质工程方面日益增长的就业市场要求在本科生一级进行更好的地球物理仪器培训。通过增加地球物理实地设备，特别是重力仪和质子磁力仪以及一台便携式个人计算机，正在改进两门地质学课程--实地地质学和地球物理学。正在为野外训练营开发地球物理项目，约三分之一的地球物理讲座正在被野外实验室项目取代，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知识。其他受益于这些设备的课程包括板块构造学、地质工程学、构造地质学和独立项目。这所大学将捐赠一笔相当于该奖项的金额。

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.
