Acquisition of a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer

这是一份为罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院购买振动样品磁力仪申请部分资金的提案。该磁力计将用于测量沉积物在环境地磁场影响下形成时获得的弱磁化强度。利用磁强计的具体研究项目有：(1)湖泊和海洋沉积物的高分辨率古强度研究，用于地层对比、测年和地磁源模拟；(2)湖泊和海洋沉积物的古环境研究；(3)湖泊和海洋沉积物的成岩作用研究。

This is a proposal requesting partial funding to purchase a vibrating sample magnetometer for the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island. The magnetometer will be used to measure the weak magnetization acquired by sediments as they form under the influence of the ambient geomagnetic field. Specific research projects that will benefit from the acquisition of the magnetometer are: (1) High- resolution paleointensity studies of lake and marine sediments for purposes of stratigraphic correlation, dating, and geomagnetic source modeling, (2) Paleoenvironmental studies of lake and marine sediments, and (3) Studies of diagenesis in lake and marine sediments.
