MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for an Undergraduate Research Program in Fluvial Biogeochemistry

0116487和这项通过重大研究仪器(MRI)计划颁发的奖项，将支持购买一套仪器，用于对美国东南部山前受人类活动影响的原始河流的地表水进行生物地球化学研究。南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的福尔曼大学的研究人员和学生，以及属于南方联合学院的其他文科机构的学生和教职员工，将获得以下设备：一台用于测量营养浓度的自动分析仪(即NO3-，PO43-)；一台用于测定天然水中有机碳负荷的库仑系统；和一个用于测量叶绿素a的荧光计。这一仪器将补充福尔曼大学现有的分析仪器，并将促进美国东南部本科生在水相地球化学方面的现代分析方法的教学和培训。

0116487AndersenThis award made through the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, provides support for the acquisition of a suite of instruments to be used in biogeochemical research on surface waters from anthropogenically impacted and pristine rivers in the Piedmont of the southeastern U.S. Researchers and students at Furman University in Greenville, SC in addition to students and faculty from other liberal arts institutions that are a part of the Associated Colleges of the South, will have access to the following: an autoanalyzer for measurement of nutrient concentrations (i.e. NO3-, PO43-); a coulometer system for the determination of the organic carbon load in natural waters; and a fluorometer for the measurement of chlorophyll a. This instrumentation will complement existing analytical instruments at Furman and will advance teaching and training of undergraduate students in the southeastern U.S. with modern analytical methods in aqueous geochemistry.***
