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

小行星9315930 该奖项提供部分资金，以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Notre Dame大学通过NSF学术研究基础设施计划的赠款获得。它将主要由参与环境地球化学、污染控制、岩石学、古气候学、湖沼学和地下水水文学领域研究和教学项目的大学学生和工作人员使用。 * 9406684约翰逊 该奖项为分配给威斯康星州大学地质与地球物理系放射性同位素实验室的一名技术人员的支持提供部分资金，麦迪逊。该技术员将协助操作和维护实验室设备，其中包括一台多接收器热电离质谱仪和用于样品制备和数据分析的相关仪器。该实验室是大量校内和校外研究人员在地球科学研究和教学项目中所需的质谱分析资源。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州拱省的碳酸盐地质年代学以及太古代和元古代花岗岩。该技术员还将参与实验室的技术开发工作，包括开发定量测量铪同位素的新方法。 ***

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. ***
