University of California, Davis,

Department of Geology, Davis, CA

95616. Instrument: Magnetometer and

Demagnetizer. Manufacturer: Molspin

Instruments, United Kingdom. Intended

Use: The instruments will be used for

the study of the magnetic properties of

sedimentary rocks retrieved as part of

the Cape Roberts Drilling Project, a

collaboration that will provide

information about the climatic and

tectonic history of the Antarctic

continent during the past 65 million
