Technician Support (Phase II): Radiogenic Isotope, Stable Isotope, and XRF Laboratories at Syracuse University

9909151 Samson该赠款为Michael Cheatham提供第二阶段技术支持（TS），以支持锡拉丘兹大学地球科学系放射性同位素实验室，稳定同位素实验室和X射线荧光设施的运营，维护和开发。这项支持是在仪器和设施（IF）计划下三年的第一阶段支持（9528422）之后。 在IF TS计划的精神，大学行政部门已承诺，在获得研究支持的资金无法完全资助技术人员的工资的情况下，在该补助金到期后至少两年，承担该技术人员的工资。 因此，Cheatham将继续为Samson，Bickford和Patterson教授及其学生提供服务，研究大陆地壳的演变，区域古气候学和环境同位素地球化学，这些都依赖于放射性和稳定同位素分析技术。

9909151SamsonThis grant provides Phase II technician support (TS) for Michael Cheatham to support operations, maintenance and development of the radiogenic isotope lab, stable isotope lab and x-ray fluorescence facility in the Earth Science Department at Syracuse University. This support follows three years of Phase I support (EAR-9528422) under the Instrumentation and Facilities (IF) program. In the spirit of the IF TS program, the University administration has committed itself to underwriting this technician's salary for a minimum of two years following expiration of this grant in the event that funds from secured research support cannot fully fund the technician's salary. As a result, Cheatham will continue to provide service to Professor's Samson, Bickford and Patterson and their students for studies of the evolution of continental crust, regional paleoclimatology and environmental isotope geochemistry which rely on radiogenic and stable isotopic analytical techniques.***
