Acquisition of Equipment to Establish a Paleomagnetic and Rock Magnetic Laboratory at New Mexico Highlands University

0820853PetronisFunds从这个主要研究仪器（MRI）计划赠款将支持购置设备的古地磁和岩石磁性研究和研究培训在新墨西哥州高地大学（NMHU）。 NMHU是一个非博士。授予，西班牙裔服务机构。 需要购置的具体设备包括：（1）旋转磁力计;（2）交变磁场消磁器;（3）磁通门磁力计;（5）Kappabridge（用于测量磁化率各向异性）。 该设备将支持广泛的有趣研究，包括研究火成岩侵入体的就位机制和中地壳变质过程。 这些研究方向表明，需要分析岩石磁组构。 该设备将有助于学生体验最先进的岩石和矿物磁性分析技术。 ***

0820853PetronisFunds from this Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant will support acquisition of equipment for paleomagnetic and rock magnetic research and research training at New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU). NMHU is a non-Ph.D. granting, Hispanic serving institution. Specific equipment to be acquired includes: 1) a spinner magnetometer; 2) alternating field demagnetizer; 3) fluxgate magnetometer; and 5) Kappabridge (for the measurement of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility). The equipment will support a broad range of interesting research including study of emplacement mechanisms of igneous intrusives and mid-crustal metamorphic processes. These research directions demonstrate a need for analysis of rock magnetic fabrics. The equipment will facilitate student experience with state-of-the-art analytical techniques in rock and mineral magnetism. ***
