Related & Collaborative University Facilities
In addition to the 'in-house' facilities noted above, various faculty and students within the Geosciences Department regularly utilize other facilities within the university, inlcuding:

• MRI-Petrophysical Applications Center
  The MRI Petrophysical Applications Center provides magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities for oil industry R&D.  In addition, it is well suited for studying the internal structures in a wide variety of geologic, industrial and engineering materials and for supporting research in fluidized and dispersed phase systems.
  
  
• Wind Science & Engineering Research Center
  In collaboration with scientists in Civil Engineering, members of the Geoscience Faculty utilize the Wind Science & Engineering Research Center to study the effects and hazards of severe storms.
  
  
• Experimental Science Building (under construction)
  This new building, scheduled for completion in 2004, will contain a number of state-of-the-art facilities used by various faculty members within the departments of Geosciences, Biology, Physics, & Chemistry.
