Equipment for Rock Magnetic Research

这项奖励为哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质天文台的岩石磁性实验室提供54%的设备成本。香港大学致力于提供剩余的46%。该装置由交流压电式磁强计、光学显微镜和构成平移居里天平的部件组成。这一设备将大大提高拉蒙特岩石磁性实验室的观测和实验能力，该实验室从事岩石磁性起源的基础研究及其在解释古代岩石古地磁方面的应用。

This award provides 54% of the cost of equipment for the rock magnetism laboratory at the Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University. The University is committed to providing the remaining 46%. The equipment consists of an alternating force piezoelectric magnetometer, an optical microscope, and the components for constructing a translation Curie balance. Together this equipment will significantly enhance the observational and experimental capabilities of the rock magnetism laboratory at Lamont which is engaged in the fundamental study of the origin of rock magnetism and its applications to the interpretation of paleomagnetism in ancient rocks.
