Collaborative Research: Electromagnetic Studies of the Continents (EMSOC): National Instrument Facility

0236553Wannamaker将通过这笔赠款为大陆电磁研究(EMSOC)国家仪器设施的基础设施、管理和运营提供持续支持。该设施提供了一批大地电磁(MT)仪器，以支持NSF资助的研究。大地电磁测量提供了对地球电导率的估计，这一特性对地热流体、熔岩、金属矿石矿物和石墨的存在和相互联系很敏感。大地电磁测井资料为了解大陆历史、岩浆成因和岩石破坏提供了独特而重要的补充依据。目前，华盛顿大学、犹他州大学、加州河滨大学和圣地亚哥大学、威斯康星州麦迪逊大学、科罗拉多矿业学院、圣地亚哥州立大学、亚利桑那州立大学和伍兹霍尔海洋研究所都是EMSOC联盟的成员。成员资格对美国机构开放，所有学术和政府用户都可以使用这些工具。有关更多详细信息，请参阅vortex.ucr.edu/emsoc/index.html。*

0236553WannamakerContinued support for the infrastructure, management and operations of the Electromagnetic Studies of the Continents (EMSOC) national instrument facility will be provided though this grant. This facility provides a pool of magnetotelluric (MT) instruments to support NSF-funded research. The MT measurements provide estimates of the electrical conductivity of the Earth, a property that is sensitive to the presence and interconnectedness of geothermal fluids, molten rock, metallic ore minerals, and graphite. MT data offers a unique an important additional basis for understanding continental history, magma genesis and rock failure. Currently, the Universities of Washington, Utah, California at Riverside and San Diego, Wisconsin at Madison, the Colorado School of Mines, San Diego State University, Arizona State University, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are members of the EMSOC Consortium. Membership is open to U.S. institutions, and the instruments are available to all academic and government users. See vortex.ucr.edu/emsoc/index.html for more details.***
