Acquisition of Isotope Tracer Instrumentation for the Romberg Tiburon Center

0216459 Dugdale这个主要研究仪器奖给旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学的Romberg Tiburon中心，为沿海海洋科学和河口生态学同位素示踪研究的研究仪器的采购提供资金。 这里支持的仪器包括一个稳定同位素质谱仪与气相色谱接口，高分辨率闪烁计数器，元素分析仪和还原炉。 这些仪器将用于各种项目，包括正在进行的研究：加利福尼亚州博德加湾附近浮游植物的碳和氮通量、束毛藻对海洋氮的固定、自然浮游生物群落对铁富集的氮动态、沿海涌升流中碳和氮循环的耦合以及旧金山弗朗西斯科河口的入侵物种。 仪器奖由NSF海洋科学部支持。旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学将从非联邦基金中为项目总成本的一部分提供成本分摊支持。

0216459DugdaleThis Major Research Instrumentation award to San Francisco State University's Romberg Tiburon Center provides funds for acquisition of research instrumentation for isotope tracer research in coastal marine science and estuarine ecology. Instruments supported here include a stable isotope mass spectrometer with gas chromatograph interface, a high resolution scintillation counter, and an elemental analyzer and reduction furnace. The instruments will be used in a variety of projects, including ongoing studies of carbon and nitrogen fluxes in phytoplankton near Bodega Bay, CA, oceanic fixation of nitrogen by Trichodesmium, nitrogen dynamics of natural planktonic communities in response to iron enrichment, coupling of carbon and nitrogen cycles in coastal upwelling, and invasive species in the San Francisco Estuary. The instrumentation award is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. San Francisco State University will provide cost-share support from non-federal funds for a portion of total project costs.***
