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. ***

0112641 Schiffman这笔赠款为加州大学戴维斯分校地质学系购买新的电子微探头提供部分支持。首席调查员都是地质学系的教学和研究人员。S、他们的学生和合作者将利用这台仪器进一步研究(1)镁铁质粘土矿物、角闪岩化和生物矿化，(2)收敛板块边缘的变质地质和构造，(3)区域变质作用和山脉带的构造，(4)火成岩过程的野外和实验研究，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系以及化学、物理、化学工程和材料科学系、农业工程、陆地空气和水科学以及兽医学院的许多其他研究人员广泛使用。虽然新的电子微探头将在地质部内安装和管理，但它将是公认的校园范围分析设施的一部分，可供加州大学戴维斯分校以及北加州其他学院、大学和研究组织的研究人员使用。***
