RUI: Acquisition of Equipment for Measuring the Magnetic Properties of Geologic Materials

小行星9405410 该奖项提供了一半的资金，以获得设备的磁学实验室将安装和运行在计算机，地质和数学科学系在湖上级大学。大学承诺提供购置设备所需的剩余资金。 该设备包括高温（即， 在大于77 K下操作）超导磁力计、热脱磁器、交变场脱磁器和磁化率电桥。新设备将主要用于主要研究员和学生的研究项目和课堂练习。这些项目将包括研究岩石如何在原地被磁化的时间-温度依赖关系，以及应用于海洋岩石圈磁化和化学变化和变质作用对岩石磁性的影响等地质问题。主要研究者的部门不提供博士学位，和苏必利尔湖上级大学有资格在本科院校（RUI）活动的NSF研究。主要研究者的研究和教学计划将涉及本科生的重要参与。 ***

9405410 Kelso This award provides one-half the funding necessary to acquire equipment for a magnetics laboratory to be installed and operated in the Department of Computer, Geologic and Mathematical Sciences at Lake Superior University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to acquire the equipment. The equipment consists of a high-temperature (i.e., operated at greater than 77K) superconducting magnetometer, a thermal demagnetizer, an alternating field demagnetizer, and a magnetic susceptibility bridge. The new equipment is to be used primarily in the research projects and classroom exercises of the Principal Investigator and students. These projects will include study of the time-temperature dependence of how rocks are magnetized in situ and application to geological problems such as the magnetization of the oceanic lithosphere and the effect of chemical changes and metamorphism on the magnetic properties of rocks. The Principal Investigator's department does not offer the doctoral degree, and Lake Superior University is eligible for the NSF Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) activity. The Principal Investigator's research and teaching programs will involve significant participation by undergraduate students. ***
