Field Instrumentation for Undergraduate Education in Environmental and Engineering Geophysics

作为该系努力建立一个综合的本科地球科学教育计划的一部分，这个项目正在开发一个环境工程物理学领域的计划。 该实地项目为该机构四个不同部门的学生和亚利桑那州生物圈2号的学生提供多学科，面向调查，基于实地的地球物理经验。 这些经验解决了当地和区域的环境、工程和地质问题。 该方案和在其中开发的课程材料正在作为一个模式提供给其他地球科学部门。 该大学正在购买两台电导率仪（用于浅层和中层深度应用）、一台磁力计/梯度计、一台地震反射/折射系统和两台通用Windows/Linux现场笔记本电脑，其中装有用于现场数据分析和初步处理的基本可视化软件。 该设备完成了地球物理学现场课程的仪器池。 *

As part of the department's effort to build an integrated undergraduate earth science education program, this project is developing an environmental engineering geophysics field program. This field program provides students in four different departments at this institution and students at Biosphere 2, in Arizona, with multidisciplinary, inquiry-oriented, field-based geophysical experiences. These experiences address local and regional environmental, engineering, and geological problems. This program and the curricular materials developed in it are being made available to other earth science departments as a model. The university is purchasing two conductivity meters (for shallow and medium depth applications), a magnetometer/gradiometer, a seismic reflection/refraction system, and two generic Windows/Linux field laptops with basic visualization software for in-field data analysis and preliminary processing. This equipment completes the instrumentation pool for the geophysics field classes. *
