Application Of Cathodoluminescence In Geology: A Training Experience For Undergraduate Science Majors

9352598海威克地质地理系提供各种各样的地球科学本科课程，包括矿物学、岩石学和沉积学。在这些课程中学习的岩石学技术对有兴趣从事地质学研究生研究的学生以及从事石油、水文和矿产勘探行业的地质学家至关重要。本系在本科教学课程中使用阴极射电镜，并鼓励本科生在沉积学、矿物学、岩石学和低温地球化学等领域的指导研究项目中使用阴极射电镜。该系增加了一个阴极射线镜，大大提高了本科生在各种地质学课程中的教学水平。学生受益于获得更全面的讲座材料知识，并通过他们在阴极发光分析和薄切片显微镜中发展的技术技能。这极大地丰富了他们对地质过程的理解，并为他们在竞争进入研究生院或工作时提供了所需的知识。＊＊＊

9352598 Haywick The Department of Geology and Geography offers a variety of undergraduate courses in the geosciences including components of mineralogy, petrology, and sedimentology. Petrographic techniques learned in these courses are vital to students interested in pursuing graduate research in geology as well as to geologists employed in the petroleum, hydrology and mineral exploration industries. The Department is using a cathodoluminoscope in the undergraduate teaching curriculum and encouraging undergraduate students to use it in directed research projects in the fields of sedimentology, mineralogy, petrology and low temperature geochemistry. The addition of a cathodoluminoscope to the department significantly improves undergraduate teaching in a wide variety of geology courses. Students benefit by gaining more comprehensive knowledge of lecture material and through the technical skills they develop during cathodoluminescence analysis and thin-section microscopy. This greatly enriches their understanding of geological processes and gives them the knowledge they need when competing for entry to graduate schools or the work force. ***
