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. ***

1005255 herrero - bervera这项拨款支持夏威夷大学岩石和古地磁实验室设备的购置和升级。将翻新一台现有的但已不再起作用的旋转磁力计，用于测量强磁化样品（例如，最近的火山）的剩磁，并将替换一台老化的kappbridge，用于测量岩石组构研究中磁化率的各向异性。这些仪器将支持广泛的古地磁和岩石地磁研究，这些研究依赖于剩磁定向分析和相对和绝对古强度测量来研究地球磁场的行为，阐明其物理起源和动力学，以及与理解地球板块构造运动相关的古地理基础研究。这些仪器将支持教师和学生的研究和研究培训，并将继续为访问科学家提供开放的分析设施。＊＊＊
