EAR-0233767ReinersThe use of (U-Th)/He chronometry has expanded significantly in the last several years, primarily in applications involving constraints on the timing and rate of shallow-crustal exhumation as applied to tectonic and geomorphic problems. The Yale He dating lab supports many of these projects, both within and outside the department, involving students and other researchers. In addition, the lab also conducts both experimental development and innovative applications of He dating, performing experiments necessary for use of the technique on new phases, improved analytical methods, and applying He dating to a wide range of problems such as the dynamics of magmatic heating in the shallow crust, detrital studies, and natural coal fires. All of these projects (as well as use of the sector ICP-MS) require support from the lab manager/technician for sample processing and user training. This funding will provide partial support for a full-time lab manager/technician (Dr. Stefan Nicolescu) for the Yale (U-Th)/He chronometry and sector ICP-MS facilities. Nicolescu's responsibilities include user training, sample processing, equipment maintenance, and planning/design in the lab, as well as maintenance of and user-training on the high-resolution ICP-MS associated with the lab. This support will facilitate broader impacts in research, learning, and infrastructure by providing support for: a) access to, and user training and experience in, He chronometry and ICP-MS analysis for students and other researchers both at Yale and other institutions; b) undergraduate/faculty advisor summer workshops on He chronometry, modeling, and interpretations in a variety of applications; c) continued professional development and training for Nicolescu. ***

EAR-0233767Reiners在过去几年中，(U-Th)/He 测时法的使用显着扩大，主要是在涉及构造和地貌问题的浅地壳折返时间和速率限制的应用中。耶鲁大学何约会实验室支持系内和系外的许多此类项目，涉及学生和其他研究人员。此外，实验室还开展He测年的实验开发和创新应用，进行新相技术使用所需的实验，改进分析方法，并将He测年应用于浅层岩浆加热动力学、碎屑研究和天然煤火等广泛问题。所有这些项目（以及行业 ICP-MS 的使用）都需要实验室经理/技术人员的支持，以进行样品处理和用户培训。这笔资金将为耶鲁大学 (U-Th)/He 计时和部门 ICP-MS 设施的全职实验室经理/技术员 (Stefan Nicolescu 博士) 提供部分支持。 Nicolescu 的职责包括用户培训、样品处理、设备维护和实验室规划/设计，以及与实验室相关的高分辨率 ICP-MS 的维护和用户培训。这项支持将通过以下方面提供支持，从而促进在研究、学习和基础设施方面产生更广泛的影响： b) 本科生/教师顾问夏季研讨会，内容涉及各种应用中的测时、建模和解释； c) 继续为 Nicolescu 提供专业发展和培训。 ***
