RUI: Acquisition of Magnetic Mapping System for Environmental, Archaeological and Geologic Surveys

小行星9810581 这笔赠款用于支持富兰克林马歇尔学院地球科学系购置一套磁测系统。 该系统将包括一个铯蒸气梯度计和全球定位系统装置以及用于数据处理、操作和显示的计算机硬件和软件。 该系统将被地球科学系的几个学院用于各种环境，考古和地质应用。共同PI的安德鲁·德·韦特和罗布·斯滕贝格对设备的环境应用感兴趣，包括确定前工业场地的地下条件，以便更好地了解这些活动的面积和环境遗产。 Rob斯滕贝格还对设备的考古应用感兴趣，包括历史窑炉的磁性和古磁性特征，以及在历史和史前考古遗址进行详细的磁性调查，以划定遗址和识别结构和特征。 还计划进行磁性研究，以进一步阐明宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特县的Martic线的结构，该线将前寒武纪/下寒武纪变质岩与下古生代沉积岩分开。 大学生参与使用磁测图系统的研究是一个高度优先事项。 ***

9810581 de Wet This grant provides support for the acquisition of a magnetic mapping system for the Department of Geosciences at Franklin & Marshall College. The system will include a cesium vapor gradiometer and GPS unit as well as computer hardware and software for data processing, manipulation and presentation. The system will be used by several faculty in the Geosciences Department for a variety of environmental, archaeological and geologic applications. Co-PI's Andrew de Wet and Rob Sternberg are interested in the environmental applications of the equipment including the determination of subsurface conditions at former industrial sites in order to better understand the areal extent and environmental legacy of these activities. Rob Sternberg is also interested in archaeological applications of the equipment including the magnetic and paleomagnetic characteristics of historic kilns, and detailed magnetic surveys at historic and prehistoric archaeological sites for the delineation of sites and the identification of structures and features. Magnetic studies are also planned for further elucidation of the structure of the Martic Line in Lancaster County, PA, which separates Precambrian/Lower Cambrian metamorphic rocks from Lower Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. The involvement of undergraduates in research using the magnetic mapping system is a high priority. ***
