This award provides one-half the funding needed to acquire a cryogenic magnetometer and to construct a magnetically shielded room in which to operate it. The magnetometer will be installed and operated in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah. The University of Utah is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for this project. The equipment will be used primarily in the research projects of the Principal Investigator, which are aimed at explaining the origins and meaning of rock magnetism. The high-sensitivity magnetometer will make it possible to measure magnetic moments of individual mineral particles in magnetized rocks and to study the development of magnetic remanence in rocks under conditions that mimic natural settings.

该奖项提供了购买低温磁力计和建造操作该磁力计的磁屏蔽室所需资金的一半。该磁力计将在犹他大学地质与地球物理系安装和运行。犹他大学致力于提供该项目所需的剩余资金。 该设备将主要用于首席研究员的研究项目，旨在解释岩石磁性的起源和意义。高灵敏度磁力计将能够测量磁化岩石中单个矿物颗粒的磁矩，并研究在模拟自然环境的条件下岩石中剩磁的发展。
