0958710BradburyThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Major Research Instrumentation Recovery and Reinvestment (MRI-R2) Program grant supports acquisition of optical and acoustic borehole visualization tools to facilitate characterization of subsurface sedimentary features, fractures, and dissolution features in hydrological studies and resource assessments for the State of Wisconsin. The requested imaging tools would be part of an established subsurface investigations program undertaken by Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) scientists and staff. The WGNHS is a special-mission unit of the University of Wisconsin-Extension, and undertakes research, resource evaluation, teaching, and outreach related to the water, rocks, and minerals of Wisconsin. Survey scientists conduct their own research but also collaborate with universities, state and federal agencies, communities, and the private sector throughout and beyond Wisconsin. The PIs of the proposal hold affiliate appointments with and are active participants in the hydrogeology program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. WGNHS scientists also collaborate with regional faculty and their students from other UW campuses such as UW-Milwaukee, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Green Bay and UW-Stevens Point, as well as other regional institutions including Beloit College. The equipment would also support collaborative projects between WGNHS scientists and U.S. Geological Survey, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Wisconsin counties, and other agencies. Borehole televiewers to be acquired will support a range of scientific research themes including fractured rock hydrogeology, contaminated water transport, aquitard hydrogeology and groundwater resources of broad local, national, and international interest. ***

0958710布拉德伯里该奖项根据 2009 年美国恢复和再投资法案（公法 111-5）提供资金。这项主要研究仪器恢复和再投资 (MRI-R2) 计划拨款支持购买光学和声学钻孔可视化工具，以促进威斯康星州水文研究和资源评估中地下沉积特征、裂缝和溶解特征的表征。 所需的成像工具将成为威斯康星州地质和自然历史调查 (WGNHS) 科学家和工作人员开展的既定地下调查计划的一部分。 WGNHS 是威斯康星大学延伸分校的一个特殊任务单位，负责威斯康星州水、岩石和矿物相关的研究、资源评估、教学和推广。调查科学家不仅进行自己的研究，还与威斯康星州内外的大学、州和联邦机构、社区和私营部门合作。 该提案的 PI 拥有威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校水文地质项目的附属任命并积极参与其中。 WGNHS 的科学家还与来自威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校、威斯康星大学奥什科什分校、威斯康星大学绿湾分校和威斯康星大学史蒂文斯波因特分校等其他威斯康星大学校园以及包括伯洛伊特学院在内的其他地区机构的地区教师和学生合作。 该设备还将支持 WGNHS 科学家与美国地质调查局、威斯康星州自然资源部、威斯康星州农业部、威斯康星州各县和其他机构之间的合作项目。 即将收购的钻孔电视观众将支持一系列科学研究主题，包括裂隙岩水文地质学、污染水输送、弱透水层水文地质学以及具有广泛地方、国家和国际利益的地下水资源。 ***
