Geology (42)The Department of Geology at Kansas State University is obtaining several exploration geophysics instruments, including a differential global positioning system, gravimeter, and ground penetrating radar system, in order to build an undergraduate field geophysics teaching program adapted from the successful SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) program led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The instruments are also enhancing our existing teacher education program. During the past two years, the department has made a commitment to improving its undergraduate geophysics curriculum by increasing the number of geophysics courses from one to five, and by increasing the number of geophysics faculty from zero to two. The geophysical equipment is being integrated into introduction to geophysics, field geophysics, hydrogeology, exploration geophysics, field methods, field camp, and introductory geology for education majors. The field geophysics course is taking advantage of a local field site, the Big Blue River valley, and students are mapping the subsurface geology using a variety of geophysical techniques.

地质学（42）堪萨斯州立大学的地质系正在获得几种勘探地球物理仪器，包括差分全球定位系统、重力仪和探地雷达系统，以建立一个本科生野外地球物理教学计划，该计划改编自洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室领导的成功的SAGE（应用地球物理经验之夏）计划。这些工具还加强了我们现有的教师教育方案。在过去的两年中，该部门已作出承诺，以改善其本科物理课程，增加物理课程的数量从一个到五个，并通过增加物理教师的数量从零到两个。地球物理设备正在被整合到地球物理学导论、野外地球物理学、水文地质学、勘探地球物理学、野外方法、野外营地和教育专业的地质学导论中。野外地球物理学课程利用了当地的一个野外场地，即大蓝河山谷，学生们正在利用各种地球物理技术绘制地下地质图。
