Acquisition of Paleomagnetic Equipment

该奖项为密歇根理工大学古磁学实验室提供50%的资金，用于购置设备。学校承诺提供配套资金购买设备，其中包括旋转磁力计、交变磁场退磁器和居里天平。它将安装在地质工程、地质和地球物理学系，供该系成员在研究项目中使用，以确定磁极漂移的地质历史和低温氧化对岩石磁化的影响。

This award provides 50% funding for the acquisition of equipment for the Paleomagnetics Laboratory at the Michigan Technological University. The University is committed to providing matching funds for the purchase of the equipment, which includes a spinner magnetometer, alternating field demagnetizer, and Curie balance. It will be installed in the Department of Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, and will be used by members of the Department in research projects to determine the geologic history of magnetic pole wandering and the effect of low- temperature oxidation on the magnetization of rocks.
