0521069BrachfeldThis Major Research Instrumentation grant supports acquisition of a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) to enhance research capabilities and hands-on education and analytical training at Montclair State University (MSU). The VSM will be shared by several interdisciplinary research programs in the College of Science and Math. A Princeton Measurements Corp. VSM3900-04C capable of accommodating a wide range of sample sizes, peak fields of 1.8-2.2 T, temperature capabilities of 10 - 1025 K, sensitivity of 10-7 emu, and a dynamic range spanning 8 orders of magnitude will be purchased. The VSM will support numerous projects including: 1) investigating of the origin of the Martian magnetic anomalies, 2) studying the evolution of stars and planets, 3) investigating paleoclimate variability recorded in deep sea sediment, lacustrine sediment, and loess-soil sequences, 4) studying the impacts of soil weathering and forest fires on susceptibility signals, 5) investigating the tectonic history of the northeast United States, and 6) testing the fidelity of sedimentary geomagnetic field records. Acquisition of a VSM will enhance the research resources for a rapidly increasing student population at Montclair State University. The MSU undergraduate population ( 60% women and 20% minorities) is growing at a rate of ~9% per year. Research is now a required component of geoscience and geography bachelor's degrees at MSU. The VSM will enhance the regional pool of rock magnetism equipment in the New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania metropolitan region, serving not only MSU, but also researchers and students at Rutgers University, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Lehigh University, Bryn Mawr College, and Ursinus College. ***

0521069 Brachfield这项重大研究仪器赠款支持购买振动样品磁强计(VSM)，以增强蒙特克莱尔州立大学(MSU)的研究能力以及实践教育和分析培训。VSM将由科学与数学学院的几个跨学科研究项目共享。将购买普林斯顿测量公司的VSM3900-04C，能够容纳广泛的样品大小、1.8-2.2T的峰值磁场、10-1025K的温度能力、10-7emu的灵敏度和跨越8个数量级的动态范围。VSM将支持许多项目，包括：1)调查火星磁异常的起源，2)研究恒星和行星的演化，3)调查深海沉积物、湖泊沉积物和黄土-土壤序列中记录的古气候变异性，4)研究土壤风化和森林火灾对磁化率信号的影响，5)调查美国东北部的构造历史，6)测试沉积地磁场记录的保真度。收购VSM将增强蒙特克莱尔州立大学快速增长的学生人数的研究资源。密歇根州立大学的本科生人数(60%是女性，20%是少数民族)正以每年约9%的速度增长。研究现在是密歇根州立大学地球科学和地理学学士学位的必修课。VSM将加强新泽西州、纽约、宾夕法尼亚州大都市区的地区性岩石磁性设备池，不仅服务于密歇根州立大学，还服务于罗格斯大学、拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球天文台、利哈伊大学、布林·莫尔学院和乌尔辛斯学院的研究人员和学生。***
