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-Slaterthis Grant支持收购一套近地形地球物理工具，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。 将获得的特定仪器包括：1）磁力计； 2）钻孔记录工具（例如，伽玛射线检测器和磁敏感性）； 3）电磁仪器； 4）多通道地震仪； 5）全球定位系统（GPS）接收器。 所需的仪器将支持对泥炭地，地下水面水相互作用，各种地质环境中的溶质传输以及地下污染物的生物降解的研究，这些研究将受益于各种近乎表面的地球物理遥感方式和精确的定位能力。 该设备将支持两个城市学术机构的研究培训和教育外展活动，重点是让代表性不足的学生参与地球物理，考古研究以及近地面地球物理成像工具的应用，以解决城市环境问题。 ***
