Addition of Electromagnetic Geophysical Equipment to Geoscience Curriculum with Emphasis on Environmental Applications

西南密苏里州立大学地理、地质和规划系正在购置两种类型的电磁地球物理测量设备（极低频和偶极/偶极感应）。这些仪器允许学生在各种地质环境中进行数据收集、处理和解释，包括地下水位置和污染研究。它们的结果正与其他类型的地球物理（重力、磁学、电阻率）数据和地质数据结合起来，以便更好地了解这些技术的优缺点。与该系的电阻率和重力仪一起，电磁测量设备为学生提供了实验地下水和环境研究中使用的主要地球物理方法的机会。

The Department of Geography, Geology and Planning at Southwest Missouri State University is acquiring of two types of electromagnetic geophysical surveying equipment (very low frequency and dipole/dipole inductive). The instruments are allowing students to perform data collection, processing and interpretation in a variety of geological environments including groundwater location and contamination studies. Their results are being integrated with other types of geophysical (gravity, magnetics, resistivity) data and geological data to obtain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques. Along with the department's electrical resistivity and gravity meter, the electromagnetic surveying equipment is providing students with the opportunity to experiment with the major geophyiscal methods used in groundwater and environmental studies.
