Geophysical Equipment for Hydrogeology, Environmental Geology and Geophysics Field Courses

地球科学系认识到动手，面向现场的经验对本科生的重要性，特别是在环境咨询的高就业领域。 为此，该大学正在提高其在浅场地球物理学方面的能力，为大学生提供地球物理学、水文地质学和环境地质学课程。 正在校园内开发一个现场实验室，包括一口抽水井、四口观测威尔斯井和许多用于地球物理目标的埋藏物。 现有的地球物理设备可以进行地震折射，重力和磁力的调查，但为了确保环境行业最常用工具的覆盖范围和经验，该大学正在提供电磁，甚低频，地面穿透雷达和地震反射技术的额外设备。 该设备被广泛用于五个本科课程（两个在地球物理学，两个在水文地质学，一个在环境地质学），并作为一个新的课程在环境领域的方法开始水平的骨干。 这门新课程为地质学学生以及校园内其他环境导向课程的学生提供早期的实地经验。 地球物理数据与水文地质和环境数据相结合，使用共同的现场作为实验室。 从该场址收集的大量地球物理和水文地质数据采用动态数字地图的方法存档在光盘上，并提供给地质界。 此外，该网站是野外地球物理学和水文地质学的一个独特教学工具，并向该地区感兴趣的教授和学生提供各种野外设备。 *

The Geosciences Department recognizes the importance of hands-on, field-oriented experiences for undergraduates, especially in the high employment area of environmental consulting. To this end, the university is increasing its capabilities in shallow field geophysics for undergraduate students in geophysics, hydrogeology, and environmental geology courses. A field laboratory is being developed on campus complete with one pumping well, four observations wells, and numerous buried objects for geophysical targets. Existing geophysical equipment allows for investigations of seismic refraction, gravity, and magnetism, but to ensure coverage and experience in the tools most commonly used in the environmental industry, the university is providing additional equipment for electromagnetic, very-low-frequency, ground-penetrating radar and seismic reflection techniques. This equipment is used extensively in five undergraduate courses (two in geophysics, two in hydrogeology, and one in environmental geology) and as the backbone for a new course at the beginning level in Environmental Field Methods. This new course provides field experience at an early level for geology students as well as students from other environmentally oriented programs on campus. The geophysical data are combined with hydrogeologic and environmental data, using the common field site as a laboratory. The extensive geophysical and hydrogeologic data collected from the site are archived on CD-ROM using the method of dynamic digital maps and are made available to the geologic community. In addition, the site, a unique teaching tool for field geophysics and hydrogeology, and the entire range of field equipment, are made available to interested professors and students in the region. *
