Facilities Upgrade for Mass Spectrometry

计划：学术研究基础设施学术研究基础设施(ARI)计划支持1)购买或开发主要研究仪器，和/或2)维修、翻新，或在特殊情况下，更换过时的科学和工程研究设施。阿拉斯加大学(UA)的这项提案要求提供资金，以购买带有气体剥离模块的自动质谱仪。该仪器将作为共享设施运行，以支持该大学和北极地区考察船上的几名科学家的研究工作。该仪器将被广泛用于作为全球变化研究计划一部分资助的营养自行车研究。地球科学局为这项提议提供了联合资金。配套资金将由该大学提供。//

PROGRAM: Academic Research Infrastructure The Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) program supports 1) acquisition or development of major research instrumentation, and/or 2) repair, renovation, or in exceptional cases, replacement of obsolete science and engineering research facilities. This proposal from the University of Alaska (UA) requests funds to purchase an automated mass spectrometer with a gas stripping module. The instrument will be operated as a shared-use facility to support research efforts of several scientists at the University and aboard research vessels in the Arctic region. The instrument will be widely used for nurient cycling studies funded as part of the Global Change Research Program. Joint funding for this proposal has been provided by the Directorate of Geosciences. Matching funds will be provided by the University. //
