Basic Paleomagnetic Laboratory Equipment

9902811 Kent这笔赠款为罗格斯大学地质科学系购置基本古地磁实验室设备提供配套支持。将获得的具体设备包括旋转磁力仪、交变磁场(AF)消磁器和热消磁器。丹尼斯·肯特最近接受了罗格斯大学的终身教职，此前他在拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球天文台经历了漫长而杰出的职业生涯。他继续在LDEO任职，并维护着他在那里帮助建造的古马克实验室。LDEO实验室拥有一个屏蔽室、一台2-G超导岩石磁强计(SRM)和一些1970年代的S老式古马克设备，包括AF消磁器、热消磁器和旋转磁强计。这些设备将被安置在罗格斯大学的新空间里，肯特将在那里积极参与本科生和研究生的教学。新设备将取代过时的和不再支持的设备，并将为地球磁场行为的古地磁调查和磁性地层研究提供卓越的能力。

9902811KentThis grant provides matching support for acquisition of basic paleomagnetic laboratory equipment to be housed in the Department of Geological Sciences at Rutgers University. Specific equipment to be acquired includes a spinner magnetometer, an alternating field (AF) demagnetizer, and a thermal demagnetizer. Dennis Kent recently accepted a tenured faculty appointment at Rutgers University after a long and distinguished career at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. He continues to hold an appointment at LDEO and maintains the paleomag lab there that he was instrumental in building. The LDEO lab houses a shielded room, a 2-G superconducting rock magnetometer (SRM) and some 1970's vintage paleomag equipment including an AF demagnetizer, thermal demagnetizers, and a spinner maagnetometer. This equipment will be housed in new space at Rutgers University where Kent will be actively involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate students. The new equipment will replace outdated and no longer supported equipment and will offer superior capabilities for paleomagnetic investigations of the behavior of the Earth's magnetic field and for magnetostratigraphic research.***
