Dr. Harlyn Halvorson is the Director of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. MBL has been an important international center for marine research since its founding in 1888. The Lab continues to be an active locus of diverse research by resident and visiting scientists. Dr. Halvorson plans to improve the research capabilities of the Lab by acquiring lab instruments (two centrifuges and an on-line gas chromatograph combustion system for the Lab's mass spectrometer) and a monitoring station for meteorological and hydrological data, and by extending the existing computer network to several buildings. These proposed improvements will expand the range of research conducted at the Lab, and will provide visiting scientists with much greater access to computing facilities on the MBL campus and at their home institutions. The addition of the gas chromatograph to the mass spectrometer will significantly reduce the sample volume needed for precise measurements of isotopic ratios, thereby increasing the range of environments that can be sampled and analyzed. These items will allow the Marine Biological Lab to continue its outstanding service to the research community.

哈林·哈尔沃森博士是马萨诸塞州伍兹霍尔海洋生物实验室的主任。自1888年成立以来，MBL一直是一个重要的国际海洋研究中心。实验室仍然是常驻和来访科学家进行多样化研究的活跃场所。哈尔沃森博士计划购买实验室仪器(两台离心机和一个用于实验室质谱计的在线气相色谱燃烧系统)和一个气象和水文数据监测站，并将现有的计算机网络扩展到几栋建筑，从而提高实验室的研究能力。这些拟议的改进将扩大在实验室进行的研究范围，并将为来访的科学家提供更多机会使用MBL校园和他们所在机构的计算设施。将气相色谱仪添加到质谱仪中将大大减少精确测量同位素比率所需的样品体积，从而增加可以采样和分析的环境范围。这些项目将使海洋生物实验室继续为研究界提供出色的服务。
