A Paleomagnetics Laboratory for Undergraduate Education and Student Research

这个项目是为地质学系的一个基础古地磁实验室提供设备。新实验室正在满足本科生对分析方法、科学实验和定量数据解释日益增长的需求。包括古磁设备进入第一年的课程，过程和地质学的概念，是向一般学生介绍实验室程序和数据分析。本实验室强调古地磁结果对板块构造理论发展的贡献，并使学生了解实验、假设形成和检验之间的关系。古地磁实验室模块也正在为构造地质学课程和地球物理学和地质考古学两门新课程设计。总之，这些课程影响了专业和非科学专业的广泛选择。新实验室也被用来支持学生的研究，作为他们独立研究的一部分，这是所有学生的要求。邻近机构的学生和教师被邀请使用古磁学实验室。＊

This project is equipping a basic paleomagnetics laboratory within the Department of Geology. The new laboratory is addressing the increasing needs of undergraduate students for exposure to analytical methods, scientific experimentation, and the interpretation of quantitative data. Inclusive of the paleomagnetic equipment into the first-year course, Processes and Concepts of Geology, is introducing a general student audience to laboratory procedure and data analysis. This laboratory is stressing the contribution of paleomagnetic results to the development of plate tectonic theory and enabling students to see the relationship between experimentation, hypothesis formation, and testing. Paleomagnetic laboratory modules are also being designed for the structural geology course and for two new courses in geophysics and geoarcheology. Together, these courses are affecting a wide selection of both majors and non-science-majors. The new laboratory is also being used to support student research as part of their independent study research, which is a requirement for all student. Students and faculty at neighboring institutions are being invited to use the paleomagnetics laboratory. *
