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.

这笔赠款将允许南加州大学通过购买三件主要设备来增强我们现有的古地磁和岩石磁设施。每一项都将显著扩大我们的研究能力的整体范围，并显著提高数据获取的速度和质量。这三台设备是：普林斯顿测量公司MicroMag 2900-02型带低温恒温器的交流梯度磁强计(AGM)；AGICO型KLY-4S型旋转卡普布里奇；以及D-Tech型D-2000型交流磁场消磁器(该系统将取代我们目前已有20年历史的Schonstedt GSD-1af消磁器)。地球科学部有三个正在进行的研究项目，其中有几个NSF资助的项目将使用这些设施：隆德的古地磁、岩石磁学和环境磁学研究；帕特森/隆德的结构/构造研究；尼尔森/波帕的地球生物学研究。
