Equipment/Facilities Upgrade and Acquisition at the Marine Institute

佐治亚大学海洋研究所从事河口和近岸研究已有35年之久，并继续成为国际公认的盐沼研究卓越中心。由于这一认识，萨佩洛岛上的杜普林河盐沼分水岭和毗邻海洋研究所的河口已被指定为国家河口研究保护区。该研究所是美国国内海洋科学家以及国际调查人员的主要研究基地。该项目将为购买CHN分析器、升级研究所现有的离子色谱仪以及安装带层流罩的清洁工作台提供部分支持。这种仪器对于保持研究所最先进的研究能力至关重要。

The University of Georgia Marine Institute has been conducting estuarine and nearshore studies for 35 years and continues to be an internationally recognized center of excellence for salt marsh research. Due to this recognition, the Duplin River salt marsh watershed and the estuary adjacent to the Marine Institute on Sapelo Island have been designated a National Estuarine Research Reserve. The Institute serves as a prime research base for marine scientists within the United States as well as for international investigators. This project will provide partial support for the purchase of a CHN analyzer, the upgrading of the Institute's present ion chromatograph, and the installation of a clean bench with laminar flow hood. This instrumentation is vitally important in maintaining state-of-the-art research capabilities at the Institute.
