This project will support the purchase of a continuous flow nutrient analyzer. The contiunous flow nutrient analyzer would rapidly and automatically determine the concentrations of at least five compounds. The high-resolution data set which can be produced is essential for examining questions about the controls of marine biological production, the exchange between land and estuarine ecosystems, and the utilization of nutrients in controlled laboratory experiments. The requested instrumentation would be used by a majority of the faculty at the Lewes Campus of the College of Marine Studies (CMS). The Lewes Campus, which houses the only marine biological laboratories in Delaware, has 22 faculty and 56 graduate students, and is a NSF supported Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site. The Lewes Campus has grown in size and prominence (onc: member was elected to the National Academy of Science) over the last five years. In recognition of this growth, the University of Delaware is constructing a new building for Biogeochemistry that will house the requested instrumentation.

该项目将支持购买一台连续流动营养分析仪。连续流营养物分析仪可快速自动测定至少五种化合物的浓度。可以产生的高分辨率数据集对于审查有关控制海洋生物生产、陆地和河口生态系统之间的交换以及在受控实验室实验中利用营养物质的问题是必不可少的。所要求的仪器将由海洋研究学院（CMS）刘易斯校区的大多数教员使用。刘易斯校区拥有特拉华州唯一的海洋生物实验室，拥有22名教师和56名研究生，是美国国家科学基金会支持的本科生研究经验（REU）站点。在过去的五年里，刘易斯校区的规模和地位都有所增长（一位成员当选为美国国家科学院院士）。为了认识到这一增长，特拉华大学正在建造一座新的生物地球化学大楼，以容纳所需的仪器。
