0710571Herrero-BerveraFunding from this grant supports an upgrade to an existing superconducting rock magnetometer at the University of Hawaii Paleomagnetics Laboratory to the latest liquid-He free cryogenic technology thus greatly reducing operating expenses and limiting down time required for thermal cycling following routine repairs. The upgraded SRM will foster continued PI research on geomagnetic field behavior as recorded by the intensity of magnetization of magnetic and paramagnetic minerals in volcanic rocks and sediments, analysis of weakly recorded fabrics within lava flows, and magnetostratigraphic investigations. The upgraded UH Paleomagnetic Lab will support student research and research training and foster collaborations with visiting scientists.***

0710571 Herrero-Bervera从该补助金中获得的资金支持将夏威夷大学古地磁学实验室现有的超导岩石磁力计升级为最新的无液氦低温技术，从而大大降低了运营费用，并限制了例行维修后热循环所需的停机时间。 升级后的SRM将促进PI对地磁场行为的持续研究，如火山岩和沉积物中磁性和顺磁性矿物的磁化强度所记录的，对熔岩流内弱记录结构的分析，以及磁性地层学调查。 升级后的UH古地磁实验室将支持学生的研究和研究培训，并促进与访问科学家的合作。
