Acquisition of a New Electron Microprobe for the Department of Geology

[01:126441 . schiffman]这笔拨款为加州大学戴维斯分校地质系购置新型电子显微探针提供了部分费用支持。主要研究人员均为地质系的教学和研究人员。侦探他们的学生和合作者将利用该仪器进一步研究(1)基性粘土矿物、古磨矿化和生物矿化，(2)趋同板块边缘的变质地质和构造，(3)区域变质作用和山带构造，(4)火成岩过程的现场和实验研究，以及(5)矿物和陶瓷的热力学研究。此外，新的电子探针将被地质学系、化学系、物理系、化学工程与材料科学系、农业工程系、土地空气与水科学系和兽医学院的许多其他研究人员广泛使用。虽然新的电子探针将被安置在地质学系内并进行管理，但它将成为一个公认的校园范围内的分析设施的一部分，供加州大学戴维斯分校以及北加州其他学院、大学和研究机构的研究人员使用。＊＊＊

0112641SchiffmanThis grant provides partial support of the costs of acquiring a new electron microprobe for the Department of Geology at the University of California, Davis. The Principal Investigators are all teaching and research faculty members in the Department of Geology. The P.I.'s, their students, and collaborators will utilize this instrument to further their research on (1) Mafic clay minerals, palagonitization, and biomineralization, (2) Metamorphic geology and tectonics of convergent plate margins, (3) Regional metamorphism and the tectonics of mountain belts, (4) Field and experimental studies in igneous processes, and (5) Thermodynamic studies of minerals and ceramics. In addition, the new electron microprobe will be used extensively by many other investigators in the Department of Geology, as well as the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering and Material Science, Agricultural Engineering, Land Air and Water Sciences, and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Although the new electron microprobe will be housed and administered within the Department of Geology, it will be part of a recognized campus-wide analytical facility that is available to researchers across the UC Davis campus as well as from other colleges, universities, and research organizations across Northern California. ***
