Acquisition of Cryogenic Magnetometer and Alternating Field Degausser for the Paleomagnetics Laboratory, The University of Oklahoma

9405628 Elmore该奖学金为俄克拉何马大学地质与地球物理学院的研究和教学安装一台低温低温磁力计和一台自动交变磁场退磁器提供了所需资金的一半。大学承诺提供收购所需的剩余资金。新的磁力计系统将主要用于研究沉积岩的磁性以及它们的磁性是如何被流经地壳的流体所改变的。大规模流体穿过地壳的规模、机制和时间对了解沉积盆地的演化及其石油生产潜力具有重要意义。＊＊＊

9405628 Elmore This award provides one-half of the funds required for the acquisition of a cryocooled cryogenic magnetometer and an automated alternating field demagnetizer to be installed and used for research and teaching in the School of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Oklahoma. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the acquisition. The new magnetometer system will be applied mainly to the study of sedimentary rock magnetism and how their magnetism is altered by the flow of fluids through the Earth's crust. The scale, mechanism, and timing of large scale fluid flow through the crust has implications for understanding the evolution of sedimentary basins and their potential for oil production. ***
