项目摘要

0132389BasuFunds from this grant provide continued partial salary support for a technician to oversee operation and maintenance of the isotope geochemistry facility at the University of Rochester. This is a Phase II technician support grant and follows three years of initial NSF support (EAR-9730743). The isotope geochemistry facility at Rochester houses four mass spectrometers including a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS), a multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS), a quadrapole based ICP-MS and a noble gas mass spectrometer. These instruments are use by faculty members Basu, Anbar and Poreda for research projects ranging from studies of the petrogenesis of flood basalts to investigations of biological fractionation of heavy metal isotopes during mineral weathering to studies of cosmic dust fluxes to the surface of the earth over geologic time. The instruments supported by this technician will continue to provide a valuable research and educational tool to the University and to a number of collaborating geoscientists. As the University has committed to picking up full time support for this position following this Phase II award, NSF support has aided in the creation of an university funded job in the geosciences field that is an alternative to traditional academic career paths. ***

0132389巴苏基金从这个赠款提供持续的部分薪金支持的技术人员，以监督操作和维护的同位素地球化学设施在罗切斯特大学。这是第二阶段的技术人员支持补助金，并遵循三年的初始NSF支持（ESTA-9730743）。罗切斯特的同位素地球化学设施有四台质谱仪，包括一台热电离质谱仪、一台多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱仪、一台四极杆电感耦合等离子体质谱仪和一台惰性气体质谱仪。这些仪器被教师Basu，Anbar和Poreda用于研究项目，从洪水玄武岩的岩石成因研究到矿物风化过程中重金属同位素的生物分馏研究，再到地质时期地球表面的宇宙尘埃通量研究。这名技术员支助的仪器将继续为和平大学和若干合作的地球科学家提供宝贵的研究和教育工具。由于该大学致力于在第二阶段获奖后为该职位提供全职支持，NSF的支持有助于在地球科学领域创建一个大学资助的工作，这是传统学术职业道路的替代方案。***
