9711377 Walker This grant provides $100,000 as two-years partial salary support for a technician to oversee operations and maintenance, train new users and develop new geochemical techniques utilizing the thermal ionization mass spectrometers (TIMS) in the Isotope Geochemistry Lab (IGL) at the University of Maryland. This is a Phase II grant for technical support under the IF/EAR program Continued support of a highly qualified scientist, Dr. Sonia Esperanca, in this technical position is fully warranted and her added expertise provides this group with a great deal of added scientific motivation for further development of difficult chemical separation and mass spectrometric techniques for the analysis of lithium isotopes and osmium isotopes in the Re/Os system. The development of techniques in the Re/Os system has already brought significant contributions to our understanding of the early geochemical differentiation of the Earth and new developments in the use of lithium isotopes as tracers of fluid flow in magmatic, hydrothermal and groundwater systems holds future promise. Lastly, the addition of a new faculty member this summer, Dr Christina Gallup, brings new expertise in uranium series dating and trace element analyses in coral skeletons as paleoclimatic indicators. ***

小步行者9711377 这项赠款提供10万美元，作为一名技术员两年的部分薪金支助，以监督操作和维护，培训新用户，并利用马里兰州大学同位素地球化学实验室的热电离质谱仪开发新的地球化学技术。 这是一个第二阶段的技术支持赠款下的综合框架/可持续发展计划继续支持一个高素质的科学家，博士索尼娅埃斯佩兰卡，她的专业知识为该小组提供了大量额外的科学动力，以进一步开发用于锂同位素和锇同位素分析的困难化学分离和质谱技术。Re/OS系统。 Re/Os系统中技术的发展已经为我们理解地球早期地球化学分异做出了重大贡献，并且在使用锂同位素作为岩浆、热液和地下水系统中流体流动示踪剂方面的新发展具有未来的希望。 最后，今年夏天增加了一名新的教员，克里斯蒂娜盖洛普博士，带来了新的专业知识，在铀系列测年和微量元素分析珊瑚骨骼作为古气候指标。 ***
