Acquisition of Equipment for Rock-Magnetism Laboratory Upgrade

0320976Geiss重大研究仪器(MRI)支持将用于购买基本的岩石磁性仪器，包括JR-6A自动双速旋转磁力仪、KLY-3型静态卡普布里奇和Magnon International AF消磁仪。这些仪器将允许三一学院(康涅狄格州哈特福德)和邻近机构(例如，马里兰州卫斯理大学)的本科生。霍利奥克学院)分析岩石和沉积物样品，用于岩石和环境磁学研究。将从这些收购中受益的项目包括对大平原的黄土土壤的研究，对三叠纪玄武岩的古地磁调查，以及对康涅狄格州和阿拉斯加的湖泊沉积物的多代理古气候研究。

0320976GeissMajor Research Instrumentation Porgram (MRI) support will be used to acquire basic rock-magnetic instrumentation consisting of a JR-6A automated dual speed spinner magnetometer, a KLY-3 static Kappabridge, and a Magnon International AF demagnetizer. The instruments will allow undergraduate students at Trinity College (Hartford, CT) and neighboring institutions (e.g., Wesleyan University, Mt. Holyoke College) to analyze rock and sediment specimen for studies in rock- and environmental magnetism. Projects that will benefit from these aquisitions include the study of loessic soils from the Great Plains, paleomagnetic investigations of Triassic basalts, and multi-proxy paleoclimate studies of lake sediments from Connecticut and Alaska.***
