Implementation of the LRC Core Lab Facility

该奖项为明尼苏达大学在明尼苏达大学湖沼学研究中心（LRC）开发湖底岩心实验室设施提供资金补充。这笔奖金的大约一半将用于支付LRC人员的薪金。另一半将用于购买记录、储存和分析湖泊沉积物岩心的设备。LRC设施解决了对湖泊岩心样品的协调方法的需求，这些样品对解释直接地质过去的古气候变化至关重要。

This award provides funds to supplement support from the University of Minnesota for developing a laboratory facility for lake-bottom cores at the Limnological Research Center (LRC), University of Minnesota. About half of this award will cover salaries of LRC personnel. The other half will be used to acquire equipment for documenting, storing, and analyzing lake sediment cores. The LRC facility addresses a need for a coordinated approach to lacustrine core samples which are critical to the interpretation of paleoclimatic variations during the immediate geological past.
