Purchase of Fluid Inclusion Stage/Microscope for Sandstone Diagenesis Studies

该奖项提供资金的67%的成本收购 用于研究的具有加热/冷却台的显微镜系统 地质样品中的微观流体包裹体。流体 包括系统将被使用的研究人员在系 凯斯西储大学地质科学系。的 大学将提供其余33%的费用。 凯斯西储大学地质系 科学有一个砂岩成岩作用的研究项目， 定量确定的条件和时间的 砂岩形成的不同阶段。对流体的研究 砂岩中的包裹体提供了一个独立和直接的途径， 测定被困沃茨的温度和盐度 在形成。

This award provides funds for 67% of the costs of acquiring a microscope system with a heating/cooling stage for the study of microscopic fluid inclusions in geological samples. The fluid inclusion system will be used by researchers in the Department of Geological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. The University is to provide the remaining 33% of the costs. The Case Western Reserve University Department of Geological Sciences has a research program in sandstone diagenesis aimed at determining quantitatively the conditions and timing of the different stages of sandstone formation. The study of fluid inclusions in sandstone provides an independent and direct way to determine the temperature and salinity of the waters trapped during formation.
