Acquisition of a Thermal Demagnetizer and Other Minor Equipment to Enhance the Paleomagnetic and Rock Magnetic Laboratory at New Mexico Highlands University

1039421 petronis这项主要研究仪器（MRI）计划拨款支持购置热消磁器和辅助古磁学实验室设备，以支持新墨西哥高地大学自然科学系的研究和研究培训。一个新的ASC热消磁器将取代PIs实验室中失效的热消磁器，并将支持广泛的古地磁研究，包括基于磁结构测量的岩浆流动动力学研究，保存在高北极地区的新元古代冰川沉积物的古地理研究，以及湖泊沉积物的第四纪古环境研究。NMHU是一所西班牙裔服务机构（56%的学生是西班牙裔），并且在招收STEM领域的学生方面有书面记录

1039421PetronisThis Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant supports acquisition of a thermal demagnetizer and ancillary paleomagnetic lab equipment to support research and research training in the Department of Natural Sciences at New Mexico Highlands University. A new ASC thermal demagnetizer will replace an inoperative thermal demagnetizer in the PIs lab and will support a wide range of paleomagnetic investigations including studies of magma flow dynamics based on magnetic fabric measurements, paleogeographic investigations of Neoproterozoic glacial deposits preserved in the high Arctic, and Quaternary paleoenvironmental studies of lacustrine deposits. NMHU is a Hispanic serving institution (56% of the student body is Hispanic) and has a documented record of recruiting students into STEM fields.***
