Funding from this grant will support acquisition of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system equipped with multiple antennas (at frequencies of 150, 100 and 200 MHz) by the Department of Geography at Kent State University. The GPR system will facilitate faculty and student research requiring the capability for near subsurface imaging for studies of glaciofluvial bedforms of the Laurentide ice sheet (e.g., subglacial tunnel valleys), mapping of tsunami deposits, assessing the areal extent of anthropogenically impacted shallow aquifers in northern Ohio and archaeological studies of Mayan structures in the Yucatan Peninsula. The GPR will support undergraduate and graduate teaching and research training and PI collaborations with international colleagues and international research experiences for graduate and undergraduate students will be fostered.

这笔赠款的资金将用于肯特州立大学地理系购置配备多个天线(频率分别为150、100和200兆赫)的探地雷达系统。探地雷达系统将为教师和学生的研究提供便利，这些研究需要近地表成像的能力，用于研究劳伦蒂德冰盖的冰川河床(例如，冰下隧道山谷)、绘制海啸沉积物图、评估俄亥俄州北部受人类活动影响的浅含水层的面积范围以及对尤卡坦半岛的玛雅结构进行考古研究。GPR将支持本科生和研究生的教学和研究培训，并将促进与国际同事的国际合作以及研究生和本科生的国际研究经验。
