Application Of Cathodoluminescence In Geology: A Training Experience For Undergraduate Science Majors

9352598海威克地质地理系提供各种地学本科课程，包括矿物学、岩石学和沉积学的组成部分。在这些课程中学到的岩石学技术对于有兴趣从事地质学研究生研究的学生以及受雇于石油、水文和矿产勘探行业的地质学家来说是至关重要的。该系正在本科教学课程中使用阴极发光镜，并鼓励本科生在沉积学、矿物学、岩石学和低温地球化学领域的定向研究项目中使用阴极发光镜。系里增加了一个阴极发光镜，大大改善了各种地质学课程的本科生教学。学生受益于获得更全面的课程材料知识，以及通过在阴极发光分析和薄片显微镜过程中发展的技术技能。这极大地丰富了他们对地质过程的了解，并为他们提供了在竞争研究生院或劳动力时所需的知识。***

9352598 Haywick The Department of Geology and Geography offers a variety of undergraduate courses in the geosciences including components of mineralogy, petrology, and sedimentology. Petrographic techniques learned in these courses are vital to students interested in pursuing graduate research in geology as well as to geologists employed in the petroleum, hydrology and mineral exploration industries. The Department is using a cathodoluminoscope in the undergraduate teaching curriculum and encouraging undergraduate students to use it in directed research projects in the fields of sedimentology, mineralogy, petrology and low temperature geochemistry. The addition of a cathodoluminoscope to the department significantly improves undergraduate teaching in a wide variety of geology courses. Students benefit by gaining more comprehensive knowledge of lecture material and through the technical skills they develop during cathodoluminescence analysis and thin-section microscopy. This greatly enriches their understanding of geological processes and gives them the knowledge they need when competing for entry to graduate schools or the work force. ***
