9304429 Riggs This award provides approximately one-half the funding required to equip a rock-crushing and mineral separation laboratory to be housed in the Department of Geology at the Northern Arizona University. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the equipment. The Principal Investigator and colleagues at Northern Arizona University are engaged in a number of research projects requiring the separation of small amounts of dateable minerals (for example, zircons for uranium-lead dating) from their rock matrix. The facilities will also be used by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey located at Flagstaff. ***

小行星9304429 该奖项提供了大约一半的资金，用于装备一个岩石破碎和矿物分离实验室，该实验室将设在北方亚利桑那大学地质系。大学承诺提供设备所需的剩余资金。 北方亚利桑那大学的首席研究员和同事们正在从事一些研究项目，需要从岩石基质中分离出少量可测年的矿物（例如，用于铀铅测年的锆石）。位于弗拉格斯塔夫的美国地质调查局的科学家也将使用这些设施。 ***
