9316937 Grossman This award provides 35% of the funding required to purchase an automated carbonate reaction system for the preparation of samples prior to mass spectrometric analysis. The equipment is to be installed and operated in the mass spectrometry laboratory in the Department of Geology at the Texas A & M University. Texas A & M University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the purchase. The Principal Investigator and colleagues are engaged in research to understand the relations between climate changes and isotopic variation signals as seen in the carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of carbonate shelled organisms living in the ocean. The work requires analysis of large numbers of small carbonate samples for which the new automated sample preparation system is needed. ***

9316937格罗斯曼这项奖励提供了购买自动碳酸盐反应系统所需资金的35%，用于在质谱分析之前准备样品。该设备将在德克萨斯农工大学地质系的质谱仪实验室安装和运行。德克萨斯农工大学承诺提供收购所需的剩余资金。首席调查员及其同事从事研究，以了解气候变化与同位素变化信号之间的关系，如生活在海洋中的碳酸盐贝壳生物的碳和氧同位素组成所见。这项工作需要对大量的小碳酸盐样品进行分析，这需要新的自动样品制备系统。***
