9911501SchroederThis grant provides partial support for the costs of upgrading the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) facilities for mineralogical research in the Geology Department at the University of Georgia (UGA). Equal matching funds have been provided by the University of Georgia Research Foundation. The PI, Dr. Paul A. Schroeder will oversee the installation of new data acquisition hardware, X-ray tube and software upgrades for the XRD system. He will also oversee the installation of a new FTIR bench, detector and data analysis system. Unique to the FTIR will be the ability to conduct mineral studies in the far-IR region. These upgrades at UGA will allow continued analytical support to a robust geological research and teaching program. Approximately 50 geology students per year receive practical training and/or theoretical familiarization with these analytical methods. XRD and FTIR labs are generally considered cost-effective analytical facilities and are commonly used by geological industries. For this reason, students who receive training are placed at a competitive advantage in the job market.Examples of research programs at UGA that will benefit include: (1) Dr. Paul A. Schroeder's program on carbon sequestration in soil/saprolite minerals and its application to estimating long-term rates of silicate weathering and soil respiration, (2) Dr. Sandra J. Wyld's program on the Cretaceous-age crustal discontinuity in the Black Rock Desert region of northwest Nevada and the kinematic link between the Mojave-Snow Lake fault and the Salmon River-Idaho suture, and her program for unraveling spatial patterns of deformation, regional metamorphism and exhumation within a Mesozoic fold-thrust belt, central Nevada, (3) Dr. Alberto Patino Douce's program on ultra-high pressure metamorphism, (4) Dr. Valentine A. Nzengung program on the preparation of organoclays and determination of their sorption effectiveness, and (5) Drs. Schroeder and Patino Douce's idea to study the far-IR vibration modes of sheet silicates. Data generated by the XRD and FTIR facilities over the past 10 years have helped produce 85 publications (books, articles plus theses) by UGA faculty and students.***

9911501 Schroeder该赠款提供部分支持，用于格鲁吉亚大学（UGA）地质系矿物学研究的X射线衍射（XRD）和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪（FTIR）设施的升级费用。格鲁吉亚大学研究基金会提供了同等的配套资金。 PI，Paul A.施罗德将监督安装新的数据采集硬件，X射线管和软件升级的XRD系统。他还将监督新的FTIR工作台、探测器和数据分析系统的安装。FTIR的独特之处在于能够在远红外区域进行矿物研究。 在UGA这些升级将允许持续的分析支持一个强大的地质研究和教学计划。每年约有50名地质学学生接受这些分析方法的实践培训和/或理论熟悉。XRD和FTIR实验室通常被认为是具有成本效益的分析设施，通常被地质行业使用。因此，接受培训的学生在就业市场上具有竞争优势。Schroeder关于土壤/腐泥土矿物中的碳封存及其在估计硅酸盐风化和土壤呼吸长期速率中的应用的计划，（2）Sandra J.
