1406430SlaterThis grant supports acquisition of a suite of near-surface field geophysical instruments to support research and research training at Rutgers University ? Newark and the City College of New York. Specific instrumentation that will be acquired includes: 1) a magnetometer; 2) borehole logging tools (e.g., gamma ray detector and magnetic susceptibility); 3) electromagnetic instrumentation; 4) a multi-channel seismograph; and 5) global positioning system (GPS) receivers. The requested instrumentation will support studies of carbon cycling in peatlands, groundwater-surface water interactions, solute transport in various geological settings, and biodegradation of contaminants in the subsurface that will benefit from various near-surface geophysical remote sensing modalities and precise positioning capability. The equipment will support research training and educational outreach activities at two urban academic institutions with a focus on engaging underrepresented students in geophysics, archaeological research, and applications of near surface geophysical imaging tools to urban environmental issues. ***

1406430斯莱特这笔赠款支持购置一套近地表场地球物理仪器，以支持罗格斯大学的研究和研究培训？纽瓦克和纽约城市学院。 将获得的具体仪器包括：1）磁力计; 2）钻孔测井工具（例如，伽马射线探测器和磁化率）; 3）电磁仪器; 4）多通道地震仪;以及5）全球定位系统（GPS）接收器。 所要求的仪器将支持泥炭地碳循环、地下水-地表水相互作用、各种地质环境中的溶质迁移以及地下污染物生物降解的研究，这些研究将受益于各种近地表地球物理遥感模式和精确定位能力。 这些设备将支持两个城市学术机构的研究培训和教育推广活动，重点是让人数不足的学生参与地球物理学、考古研究以及近地表地球物理成像工具在城市环境问题上的应用。***
