Acquisition of Instrumentation to Support Earth Science Research with Near Surface Geophysical Technologies and to Engage Underrepresented Groups on Two Urban Campuses

1406430 slater这笔拨款用于购置一套近地表场地球物理仪器，以支持罗格斯大学的研究和研究培训。纽瓦克和纽约城市学院。将获得的具体仪器包括：1)磁力计；2)井眼测井工具（如伽马射线探测器和磁化率）；3)电磁仪表；4)多通道地震仪；5)全球定位系统（GPS）接收机。所要求的仪器将支持泥炭地的碳循环、地下水-地表水相互作用、各种地质环境中的溶质运输以及地下污染物的生物降解研究，这些研究将受益于各种近地表地球物理遥感模式和精确定位能力。这些设备将支持两个城市学术机构的研究培训和教育推广活动，重点是让代表性不足的学生参与地球物理学、考古研究和近地表地球物理成像工具在城市环境问题上的应用。＊＊＊

1406430SlaterThis grant supports acquisition of a suite of near-surface field geophysical instruments to support research and research training at Rutgers University ? Newark and the City College of New York. Specific instrumentation that will be acquired includes: 1) a magnetometer; 2) borehole logging tools (e.g., gamma ray detector and magnetic susceptibility); 3) electromagnetic instrumentation; 4) a multi-channel seismograph; and 5) global positioning system (GPS) receivers. The requested instrumentation will support studies of carbon cycling in peatlands, groundwater-surface water interactions, solute transport in various geological settings, and biodegradation of contaminants in the subsurface that will benefit from various near-surface geophysical remote sensing modalities and precise positioning capability. The equipment will support research training and educational outreach activities at two urban academic institutions with a focus on engaging underrepresented students in geophysics, archaeological research, and applications of near surface geophysical imaging tools to urban environmental issues. ***
