9413957 Williams This award provides partial funding for the acquisition of an isotope ratio mass spectrometer and an inductively- coupled plasma mass spectrometer to be installed and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of South Carolina. The University of South Carolina is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the acquisition of the equipment. The Principal Investigator and a large multi-disciplinary group of colleagues require the analytical capabilities (accurate isotope ratios for light stable elements, and rapid multielement analysis of geological samples) of these instruments to carry out a significant number of research projects in the area of Global Change, including research on past temperature variations in ancient oceans and lakes, the geologic history of CO2 in the atmosphere, geochemical cycles in the oceans, and the chronology of non-carbonate sediments in marine and fresh-water basins. ***

小威廉姆斯9413957 该奖项为购置一台同位素比质谱仪和一台电感耦合等离子体质谱仪提供部分资金，这些质谱仪将在南卡罗来纳州大学地质科学系安装和运行。南卡罗来纳州大学承诺提供购置设备所需的其余资金。首席研究员和一个大型的多学科同事小组需要分析能力（轻稳定元素的精确同位素比率和地质样品的快速多元素分析），以开展全球变化领域的大量研究项目，包括研究古代海洋和湖泊过去的温度变化，大气中CO2的地质历史、海洋中的地球化学循环以及海洋和淡水盆地中非碳酸盐沉积物的年代学。 ***
