Acquisition of ICP-MS for Research in Ocean and Earth Sciences

9401770巴蒂萨该合同提供部分资金，用于购买将在夏威夷大学海洋与地球科学与技术学院安装和运行的电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(ICPMS)系统。该机构承诺提供收购所需的剩余资金。该仪器将用于测量各种天然固体和流体样品中的元素和同位素浓度。大约30名研究科学家将在他们的研究中利用该仪器的快速和准确的化学分析能力。他们的研究包括以下一般领域的项目：(1)大洋中脊过程，(2)活动弧后盆地和岛弧的过程，(3)地幔热柱和热点，(4)地球深处，(5)地外物质，(6)海洋矿藏，(7)海洋颗粒和沉积物，(8)大气颗粒和沉积物捕集材料，(9)热液过程，和(10)大洋钻探相关研究。***

9401770 Batiza This award provides partial funding for the acquisition of an inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) system to be installed and operated in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the acquisition. The instrument will be used to measure the concentration of elements and isotopes in a wide variety of natural solid and fluid samples. Approximately 30 research scientists will make use of the instrument's rapid and accurate chemical analytical capabilities in their research. Their research includes projects in the general fields of: (1) mid-ocean ridge processes, (2) processes in active back-arc basins and island arcs, (3) mantle plumes and hotspots, (4) deep interior of the Earth, (5) extraterrestrial materials, (6) marine mineral deposits, (7) marine particulates and sediments, (8) atmospheric particulates and sediment trap materials, (9) hydrothermal processes, and (10) Ocean drilling related research. ***
