The Regolith Analysis Laboratory

Department of Geography, UNCG

The Regolith Analysis Lab is a new physical geography facility in the Graham Building, completed October 1, 2006.  Located on the 4th floor, this lab contains equipment and supplies required to conduct a variety of analyses useful in the physical characterization of sediment and soil. The facility includes a chemical fume hood, acid neutralization and particle trap sinks, refrigerator, drying oven, and a muffle furnace. Smaller lab equipment items available in the lab include a Bartington MS2 magnetic susceptibility meter with dual-frequency, search loop, core scanning, and small sample sensors;  MOLSPIN MiniSpin fluxgate magnetometer;  ASC Scientific IM-10 impulse magnetizer; two precision balances;  compound, petrographic and stereo microscopes; wet and dry sieves for sand fractionation; water sample filtration pump; and all the glassware and other materials required for most common sediment physical analyses.
