Equipment for Undergradaute Field Geophysics Courses

堪萨斯州立大学地质系正在获得一些勘探地球物理仪器，包括差分全球定位系统、重力仪和探地雷达系统，以建立一个本科现场地球物理教学计划，该计划是根据洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室领导的成功的SAGE（应用地球物理经验夏季）计划进行的。这些仪器也加强了我们现有的教师教育计划。在过去的两年中，该系致力于改善其本科地球物理学课程，将地球物理学课程从一门增加到五门，并将地球物理学教员的数量从零增加到两名。地球物理设备正被整合到教育专业的地球物理导论、野外地球物理、水文地质学、勘探地球物理、野外方法、野外营地和地质学导论中。现场地球物理课程利用了当地的一个现场，即大蓝河谷，学生们利用各种地球物理技术绘制地下地质图。

Geology (42)The Department of Geology at Kansas State University is obtaining several exploration geophysics instruments, including a differential global positioning system, gravimeter, and ground penetrating radar system, in order to build an undergraduate field geophysics teaching program adapted from the successful SAGE (Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience) program led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The instruments are also enhancing our existing teacher education program. During the past two years, the department has made a commitment to improving its undergraduate geophysics curriculum by increasing the number of geophysics courses from one to five, and by increasing the number of geophysics faculty from zero to two. The geophysical equipment is being integrated into introduction to geophysics, field geophysics, hydrogeology, exploration geophysics, field methods, field camp, and introductory geology for education majors. The field geophysics course is taking advantage of a local field site, the Big Blue River valley, and students are mapping the subsurface geology using a variety of geophysical techniques.
