Acquisition of a Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometer

该奖项提供所需资金的一半， 购买一台多接收器稳定同位素质谱仪， 微取样能力将安装和运行在 加州大学戴维斯分校地质系。的 大学致力于提供剩余的一半， 购买所需的资金，并将房屋和维护 设备. 新仪器将建立第一个校园范围内， 加州大学戴维斯分校的多用途稳定同位素设施， 主要研究者将组成主要用户组， 海底流体-岩石相互作用研究项目， 陆上热液地球化学和解释 深海岩心样品的古气候记录。

This award provides one-half of the funding required to purchase a multicollector, stable isotope mass spectrometer with micro-sampling capabilities to be installed and operated in the Department of Geology at the University of California-Davis. The University is committed to providing the remaining half of the funds necessary for the purchase and will house and maintain the equipment. The new instrument will establish the first campus-wide, multi-purpose stable isotope facility at UC-Davis where three Principal Investigators will constitute the prime-user group with research projects on fluid-rock interactions in submarine and subaerial hydrothermal geochemistry and interpreting the paleoclimatic record of deep-sea core samples.
