Acquisition of Borehole Geophysical Instrumentation for the Study of Fracture Flow Hydrology

0949190 Romanowicz该合同在12个月内提供56,805美元的NSF资金，用于购买钻孔地球物理仪器和辅助设备，以表征该领域的水力特性和裂隙流水文学。资金将用于购买带有电缆、卡尺探头、电阻率探头、流量计、软件、数据记录器、TLC计、发电机和泵的绞车。该设备的主要重点是表征裂缝的水力特性和相互连通性。测试将在各种环境和压力条件下进行。该仪器将大大加强纽约州立大学普拉茨堡分校的水文地质和环境科学教育。钻孔地球物理仪器将在研究和课堂环境中用于学生。这些设备将被纳入本科课堂，为学生提供使用最先进的地球物理设备的机会。学生将学习如何收集和解释地球物理数据，并将这些信息应用于裂隙岩石水文学的研究，从而更好地为研究生院或工业做好准备。***

0949190RomanowiczThis award provides $56,805 in NSF funding over 12 months to acquire borehole geophysical instrumentation and supporting equipment to characterize hydraulic properties and fractrure flow hydrology in the field. Funds will be used to obtain a winch with cable, caliper probe, resistivity probes, flowmeter, software, data loggers, TLC meter, a generator, and pump. The main focus for this equipment is to characterize fracture hydraulic properties and interconnectivity. Tests will be conducted under a variety of ambient and stressed conditions. The instrumentation will significantly enhance hydrogeological and environmental science education at SUNY Plattsburgh. The borehole geophysical instruments will be used for to students in both research and classroom environments. The equipment will be incorporated into undergraduate classes to provide opportunities for students to use state-of- the-art geophysical equipment. Students will learn how to collect and interpret geophysical data and apply that information to the study of fractured-rock hydrology, thus better preparing them for graduate school or industry. ***
