9803659 Nelson This grant provides 50% salary support over two years for technical support in the Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory in the Dept. of Geological Sciences, University of Washington. This grant represents Phase II of technician support which follows on three years support provided by Phase I (EAR-9417870). The isotope geochemistry technician, G. Hinn, now has eight years of experience in solid-source mass spectrometry, chemical separations, acid distillation, and electrical and mechanical maintenance critical to operation of the laboratory. He is experienced in the anlayses of U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr isotope systems, and has assisted in development of high-precision trace element analyses of Ca, Mg, K, V, U and Ba in minerals and natural waters. A critical aspect of the technician's duties is to monitor on a daily basis operation and adherence to protocol by workers in the clean labs. He also participates in the education of students and visiting researchers. For example, during Phase I support, he taught and was a constant resource for six undergraduate students who have been involved in research, six graduate students and two post-doctoral researchers. Research supported by the technical support grant spans a large range of subjects but much of it follows four main scientific themes; ocean island volcanism, tectonics and magmatism at continental margins, modern and paleo-chemical fluxes in the oceans, and migration of metals in the environment. As in the past, through extensive collaborative work this grant will support the Isotope Geochemistry Lab as a resource for students and colleagues not only in Geological Sciences, but also in Departments of Oceanography, Chemistry and Geophysics, and for colleagues at other universities and colleges in the northwest. ***

9803659 Nelson这项资助为华盛顿大学地质科学系同位素地球化学实验室的技术支持提供了两年50%的工资支持。该赠款代表第二阶段的技术支持，在第一阶段（EAR-9417870）提供的三年支持之后。同位素地球化学技术人员G. Hinn现在在固体源质谱，化学分离，酸蒸馏以及对实验室运行至关重要的电气和机械维护方面拥有8年的经验。他在U- pb， Sm-Nd， Rb-Sr同位素系统的分析方面经验丰富，并协助开发了矿物和天然水中Ca， Mg， K， V， U和Ba的高精度微量元素分析。技术人员职责的一个关键方面是监督清洁实验室工作人员的日常操作和遵守协议。他还参与学生和访问学者的教育。例如，在第一阶段的支持期间，他是六名参与研究的本科生，六名研究生和两名博士后的教学和持续资源。技术支持基金支持的研究涵盖了广泛的学科，但其中大部分遵循四个主要的科学主题；海洋岛屿火山作用，大陆边缘的构造和岩浆作用，海洋中的现代和古化学通量，以及环境中金属的迁移。与过去一样，通过广泛的合作，这笔资助将支持同位素地球化学实验室作为学生和同事的资源，不仅在地质科学，而且在海洋学，化学和地球物理部门，以及在西北其他大学和学院的同事。＊＊＊
