Technical Support: Request for an ICP-MS Technician at the University of Notre Dame

9315930 Neal该奖项提供部分资金支持分配给圣母大学土木工程和地质科学系电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）实验室的技术人员。ICP-MS仪器最近由圣母大学通过美国国家科学基金会学术研究基础设施项目的配套资金获得。它将主要供参与环境地球化学、污染控制、岩石学、古气候学、湖沼学和地下水水文学等领域研究和教学项目的大学学生和教职员工使用。*** 9406684 Johnson该奖项为威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校地质与地球物理系放射性同位素实验室的一名技术人员提供部分资金支持。该技术人员将协助操作和维护实验室的设备，包括多收集器热电离质谱仪和用于样品制备和数据分析的相关仪器。该实验室是众多校内外科研人员在地球科学研究和教学项目中所需要的质谱分析资源。研究应用包括北冰洋沉积物、地幔地球化学、火山作用、密歇根盆地和威斯康星拱省碳酸盐的地质年代学、太古宙和元古代花岗岩。该技术员还将参与实验室的技术发展工作，包括开发铪同位素定量测量的新方法。* * *

9315930 Neal This award provides partial funding to support a technician assigned to the inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) laboratory in the Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. The ICP-MS instrument was recently obtained by Notre Dame University through matching funds from a grant from the NSF Academic Research Infrastructure Program. It will be used primarily by students and staff of the University involved in research and teaching projects in the area of environmental geochemistry, pollution control, petrology, paleoclimatology, limnology, and groundwater hydrology. *** 9406684 Johnson This award provides partial funding for the support of a technician assigned to the Radiogenic Isotope Laboratory in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The technician will assist in the operation and maintenance of the laboratory's equipment that includes a multicollector thermal ionization mass spectrometer and associated instrumentation for sample preparation and data analysis. The laboratory is a resource for mass spectrometric analysis needed in research and teaching projects in the earth sciences by a large number of researchers on-campus and off-campus. Research applications include work on Arctic Ocean sediments, mantle geochemistry, volcanism, geochronology of carbonates in the Michigan Basin and Wisconsin Arch provinces, and Archean and Proterozoic granites. The technician will also participate in the technical developmental work of the laboratory, including the development of new methods for the quantitative measurement of the isotopes of hafnium. ***
