Upgrade of the Paleomagnetics and Petrofabrics Laboratory of the University of Hawaii at Manoa

1005255 Herrero-Bervera这笔赠款支持夏威夷大学岩石和古地磁实验室设备的采购和升级。将翻新现有但不再起作用的旋转磁力仪，用于测量强磁化样品(例如，新近的火山岩)的剩磁，并将替换老化的卡普布里奇，用于测量岩石组构研究中的磁化率各向异性。这些仪器将支持广泛的古地磁和岩石磁学研究，这些研究依赖于剩磁方向分析和相对和绝对古强度测量，以研究地球磁场的行为，阐明其物理起源和动力学，并用于与了解地球板块构造运动相关的古地理基础研究。这些仪器将支持教职员工和学生的研究和研究培训，并将继续作为访问科学家的开放分析设施。***

1005255Herrero-BerveraThis grant supports acquisition and upgrade of equipment in the University of Hawaii Rock and Paleomagnetism Laboratory. An existing but no longer functional spinner magnetometer, for magnetic remanence measurements of strongly magnetized samples (e.g., recent volcanics), will be refurbished, and an aged Kappabridge, for the measurement of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility for petrofabric investigations, will be replaced. The instruments will support a broad range of paleomagnetic and rock magnetic research that relies on magnetic remanence directional analyses and relative and absolute paleointensity measurements to study the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field and elucidate its physical origin and dynamics and for basic studies of paleogeography of relevance to understanding Earth's plate tectonic motions. The instruments will support faculty and student research and research training and will remain an open analytical facility for visiting scientists. ***
