Acquisition of field geophysical equipment for teaching and research at Cornell University

[0732677 . pritchard]这项拨款支持为康奈尔大学地球与大气科学系购置一套野外地球物理设备。首席PI是一个早期的职业研究者（2003年博士学位）。需购置的设备包括：1)电阻率系统；2)磁力计；3) GPS全站仪；4) 5台现场加固笔记本电脑；5)磁化率系统。该设备将支持教职员工和学生的研究，这些研究依赖于近地下地层学的遥感，用于跨越地质考古学、物理火山学和古气候学领域的调查。该提案的一个重点是通过严重依赖学生在勘探地球物理技术方面的实地培训，重振康奈尔大学地球科学和地球物理教育课程。* * *

0732677PritchardThis grant supports acquisition of a suite of field geophysical equipment for the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University. The lead PI is an early career investigator (Ph.D. 2003). Equipment to be acquired includes: 1) a resistivity system; 2) a magnetometer; 3) a GPS total station; 4) 5 field hardened laptop PCs; and 5) a magnetic susceptibility system. The equipment will support faculty and student research that relies on remote sensing of near subsurface stratigraphy for investigations spanning the fields of geoarchaeology, physical volcanology, and paleoclimatology. A focus of the proposal is to reinvigorate the Cornell curriculum for geoscience and geophysics education through heavy reliance on student field training in exploration geophysical techniques. ***
