Statement
- Research
in the MTU Environmental and Paleomagnetism Laboratory is expanding
into many previously unreachable areas thanks to the National
Science Foundation and Michigan Technological University. NSF
funds and matching moneys have allowed the purchase of a Superconducting
rock magnetometer and a magnetically shielded room which will
enable us to measure very weakly magnetized sediment and rock
samples at extremely rapid rates.
