Field Instrumentation for Undergraduate Education in Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

作为该系建立综合本科地球科学教育计划的一部分，该项目正在开发一个环境工程地球物理野外计划。该实地项目为该机构四个不同系的学生和亚利桑那州生物圈二号的学生提供多学科的、以探究为导向的实地地球物理体验。这些经验解决了当地和区域的环境、工程和地质问题。该计划和其中开发的课程材料正在作为样板提供给其他地球科学系。该大学正在购买两台电导仪(用于浅层和中等深度应用)、一台磁力计/梯度仪、一台地震反射/折射系统，以及两台装有基本可视化软件的通用Windows/Linux野外笔记本电脑，用于现场数据分析和初步处理。该设备完成了地球物理外业课程的仪器库。*

As part of the department's effort to build an integrated undergraduate earth science education program, this project is developing an environmental engineering geophysics field program. This field program provides students in four different departments at this institution and students at Biosphere 2, in Arizona, with multidisciplinary, inquiry-oriented, field-based geophysical experiences. These experiences address local and regional environmental, engineering, and geological problems. This program and the curricular materials developed in it are being made available to other earth science departments as a model. The university is purchasing two conductivity meters (for shallow and medium depth applications), a magnetometer/gradiometer, a seismic reflection/refraction system, and two generic Windows/Linux field laptops with basic visualization software for in-field data analysis and preliminary processing. This equipment completes the instrumentation pool for the geophysics field classes. *
