Upgrade of the Paleomagnetism/Rock Magnetism Laboratory at the University of Southern California

这笔拨款将允许南加州大学通过购买三件主要设备来增加我们目前的古磁学和岩石磁学设施。其中每一项都将大大扩展我们研究能力的整体范围，并显著提高数据采集的速度和质量。这三台设备分别是：普林斯顿测量公司MicroMag型号2900-02型低温恒温变梯度磁力计；AGICO KLY-4S型纺丝机；和D-Tech型号D-2000交变磁场消磁器（该系统将取代我们目前20年的Schonstedt GSD-1消磁器）。地球科学系有三个活跃的研究项目，其中有几个nsf资助的项目将使用这些设施：隆德的古磁学、岩石磁学和环境磁学研究；帕特森/隆德构造/构造研究；尼尔森/波普的地理生物学研究。

EAR-0349894Lund This grant will permit the University of Southern California to augment our current paleomagnetic and rock magnetic facilities through the purchase of three pieces of major equipment. Each of these would significantly expand the overall range of our research capabilities and significantly improve the speed and quality of data acquisition. The three pieces of equipment are as follows: Princeton Measurements Corporation MicroMag Model 2900-02 Alternating Gradient Magnetometer (AGM) with cryostat; AGICO Model KLY-4S Spinner Kappabridge; and D-Tech Model D-2000 Alternating Field Demagnetizer (this system will replace our current 20-year old Schonstedt GSD-1 af demagnetizer). There are three active research programs in the Department of Earth Sciences with several NSF-funded projects that will use these facilities: paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, and environmental magnetism studies of Lund; structure/tectonic studies of Paterson/Lund; geobiology studies of Nealson/Popa.
