9419373 Schiffman This award provides one-half the funding for the upgrade of an electron microprobe system housed and operated in the Department of Geology at the University of California at Davis. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to carry out the project. The upgrade will consist of replacing the operating system computer and making improvements to the machine's imaging system. The upgrade is necessary to carry out a number of research and teaching projects requiring the analytical capabilities of a modern electron microprobe. Research topics include hydrothermal metamorphism of clay minerals in the oceanic crust and terrestrial geothermal systems, the metamorphic geology of accretionary prisms and forearc regions in Alaska and South America, low-grade metamorphism in the Sierra Nevada and Franciscan complexes, phase equilibria and kinetics of silicate systems at elevated temperatures and pressures, properties of silicate melts. In addition, the electron microprobe at UC-Davis is used by students and staff from the departments of chemistry, material sciences, soils, and the School of Veterinary Medicine. ***

小行星9419373 该奖项提供了一半的资金，用于升级加州大学戴维斯分校地质系的电子探针系统。该机构承诺提供实施该项目所需的剩余资金。升级将包括更换操作系统计算机和改进机器的成像系统。升级是必要的，以执行一些需要现代电子探针分析能力的研究和教学项目。研究课题包括大洋地壳和陆地地热系统中粘土矿物的热液变质作用、阿拉斯加和南美洲增生棱柱和弧前区域的变质地质学、内华达州山脉和方济各会杂岩的低级变质作用、高温高压下硅酸盐系统的相平衡和动力学、硅酸盐熔体的性质。此外，加州大学戴维斯分校的电子探针还被化学，材料科学，土壤和兽医学院的学生和工作人员使用。 ***
