Equipment for Marine Research

关岛大学海洋实验室是太平洋中部的一个独特的研究机构。该实验室拥有一支活跃的研究人员队伍，并接待了一批在不同学科工作的国际调查人员。该实验室在研究生和本科生培训方面也有出色的记录。常驻和来访的科学家可以使用一系列共享的设备和仪器，欧内斯特·马特森博士建议安装一个分光光度计和一个柴油发电机来加强这些设施。拟议的多用户设备采购将对实验室进行的研究的数量和质量产生重大影响。发电机将在夜间和周末停电以及热带风暴造成的间歇性电力中断时提供备用电力。该分光光度计将是海洋生态学、系统生物学、生物化学和生理学一系列不同项目的重要补充。

The University of Guam Marine Lab is a unique research facility in the central Pacific Ocean. The Lab has an active research staff and hosts a steady stream of international investigators working in diverse disciplines. The Lab also has an excellent record of graduate and undergraduate training. Resident and visiting scientists have access to an array of shared equipment and instrumentation, and Dr. Ernest Matson proposes installation of a spectrophotometer and a diesel generator to augment these facilities. The proposed multi-user equipment acquisitions will have a significant impact on the quantity and quality of research conducted at the Lab. The generator will provide backup electricity during nighttime and weekend shutdowns, and the intermittent power failures caused by tropical storms. The spectrophotometer will be an important addition to a diverse array of projects in marine ecology, systematic biology, biochemistry and physiology.
