0421494Armstrong This Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) grant supports acquisition of a Scintrex CG-5 gravimeter capable of measuring relative gravity to plus or minus 5 mGals. The gravimeter would support research and education by faculty and students at Cal State University Fullerton in structural geology and basin analysis research. Additional support will also fund the acquisition of gravity modeling software and related manufacturer training. Specific research targets for the gravimeter will include looking for buried faults within the northern Gulf Extensional Province, Baja California and investigations of the geometry of buried Tertiary sedimentary basins in northern Thailand. Cal State Fullerton is a non-Ph.D. granting institution and serves a student body that consists of a majority of traditionally underrepresented students in the geosciences.***

0421494 Armstrong这项重大研究仪器（MRI）拨款支持购买Scintrex CG-5重力仪，该重力仪能够测量正负5 mGals的相对重力。 重力仪将支持加州州立大学富勒顿分校的教师和学生在结构地质学和盆地分析研究方面的研究和教育。 额外的支持还将资助购买重力建模软件和相关的制造商培训。重力仪的具体研究目标将包括寻找下加利福尼亚州北方海湾延伸省内的埋藏断层，以及调查泰国北方埋藏的第三纪沉积盆地的几何形状。 加州州立大学富勒顿分校是一个非博士学位。它是一个授予机构，为一个由地球科学领域传统上代表性不足的学生组成的学生团体提供服务。
