RUI: MAGNETIC EQUIPMENT FOR FACULTY-UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS.

小行星9303047 该奖项提供了56%的资金所需的主要研究者购买设备，将安装在地质系在奥克莱尔的威斯康星州大学古地磁实验室。大学致力于提供所需的剩余资金。 古地磁设备将用于测量火成岩的磁化方向，无论是在正规课程的工作和研究项目，涉及本科生。 这种测量对于了解过去地球磁场的行为是必要的，也是解释过去构造事件期间磁化岩石变形所必需的。 ***

9303047 Chan This award provides 56% of the funds required for the Principal Investigator to purchase equipment that will be installed in a paleomagnetics laboratory in the Geology Department at the University of Wisconsin at Eau-Claire. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary. The paleomagnetic equipment is to be used in measuring the direction of magnetization of igneous rocks both in formal course work and in research projects involving undergraduate students. Such measurements are necessary to obtain an understanding of the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field in the past and are also needed to interpret the past deformation of the magnetized rocks during tectonic events. ***
