RUI: Acquisition of an Oxygen Isotope Extraction Line for Silicates

小行星9317263 该奖项提供了建造从硅酸盐岩石和矿物中化学提取氧气的系统所需资金的一半。抽取管线将由加州州立大学富勒顿分校地质科学系的首席研究员建造和操作。该机构承诺提供该项目所需的其余资金。 氧提取必须在确定样品中氧同位素的比例之前进行，这项任务将在邻近的加州理工学院的稳定同位素实验室进行。氧同位素特征分析是主要研究员关于火成岩起源的研究项目中的关键步骤。本科生在研究项目中使用这条提取线将提高在加州州立大学富勒顿的本科生的经验。 ***

9317263 Knott This award provides one-half the funding required to construct a system for chemical extraction of oxygen from silicate rocks and minerals. The extraction line will be constructed and operated by the Principal Investigator in the Department of Geological Sciences at the California State University-Fullerton. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds needed for the project. Oxygen extraction must be performed prior to determining the ratio of oxygen isotopes in the samples, a task to be performed in the stable isotope laboratory of neighboring California Institute of Technology. Analysis of the oxygen isotopic signature is a critical step in the research projects of the Principal Investigator on the origin of igneous rocks. The inclusion of undergraduate students in research projects using this extraction line will enhance the undergraduate experience at Cal State- Fullerton. ***
