MRI/RUI Proposal: Acquisition of an Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer and Microwave Digestion System

0215734 Schaumloff凭借MRI项目的这一奖项，纽约州立大学奥尼奥尼塔学院(SUNY Onegita)将获得一台电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱仪(ICP-AES)和微波消解系统(MDS)。使用这些仪器在纽约州立大学奥尼奥尼塔分校和附近哈特威克学院的同事进行的研究涉及广泛的地质、环境和化学研究。这些研究包括对纽约和蒙大拿州变质岩层元素组成的研究，对环境系统中微量元素循环的研究，以及对阿迪朗达克地区汞积累和循环的具体研究(纽约)。该项目的一个主要组成部分是让本科生参与以实验室为基础的研究，与实地工作和实地地质特征分析相联系。收购这一仪器将极大地增强我们在纽约州立大学奥尼奥塔分校的共享分析仪器套件，使一些教职员工的研究受益，并改善本科教育。

0215734SchaumloffelWith this award from the MRI program, the State University of New York College at Oneonta (SUNY Oneonta) will acquire an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) and microwave digestion system (MDS). The research carried out with these instruments, both at SUNY Oneonta and with colleagues at nearby Hartwick College, involves a wide array of geological, environmental and chemical studies. These include studies of the elemental composition of metamorphic rock formations in New York and Montana, studies on the cycling of trace elements in environmental systems and specific studies of the accumulation and cycling of mercury in the Adirondack Region (New York). A major component of this project is the involvement of undergraduate students in laboratory-based research linked with field-work and the analysis of geological features in the field. The acquisition of this instrumentation will greatly enhance our suite of shared analytical instrumentation at SUNY Oneonta, benefiting the research of a number of faculty members and improving undergraduate education.***
