This award will provide for half the funds necessary to acquire an automated carbonate preparation system which will be attached to and integrated with an existing gas source isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The additional funds for this acquisition have been committed by the University of Colorado. The equipment will be used primarily by faculty and students in the Department of Geological Sciences and the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research(INSTAAR). The automated preparation system will make it possible to increase greatly the number of samples that can be processed,thereby lowering costs per sample. Research projects to be supported by this equipment cover a broad range of topics including paleoclimate studies,recent climate changes based on studies of corals,carbonate diagenesis,and Paleozoic paleooceanography.

该奖项将提供一半的资金， 获得一个自动化的碳酸盐制备系统， 与现有气体源同位素连接并整合 比率质谱仪。此次收购的额外资金 是由科罗拉多大学犯下的设备 将主要由系里的教师和学生使用 北极和阿尔卑斯研究所 研究（INSTAAR）。自动化制备系统会让它 可以大大增加可以被测量的样本数量， 处理，从而降低每个样本的成本。研究项目以便 该设备支持的内容涵盖广泛的主题 包括古气候研究，最近的气候变化， 珊瑚、碳酸盐成岩作用和古生代的研究 古海洋学
