Acquisition of Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP OES) for Paleoceanographic Research

该提案要求为购买电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱仪提供部分资金支持，这将补充罗格斯大学现有的分析能力。新仪器将主要用于有孔虫和其他生物碳酸盐中的元素定量（例如Mg/Ca和Sr/Ca），以支持古海洋学研究。新仪器也将提供给大学地质系和环境科学系的研究人员和学生，用于不需要ICP-MS的高灵敏度和高分辨率的项目。该仪器将作为地球和环境科学专业本科生和研究生的培训工具。

This proposal request support to partially fund acquisition of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer, which will supplement existing analytical capabilities at Rutgers University. The new instrument will be primarily used for elemental rations (e.g., Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca) in foraminifers and other biogenic carbonates in support of paleoceanographic research. The new instrument will also be available to researchers and students in the Department of Geology and Department of Environmental Sciences at the university for projects that do not require the high-sensitivity and resolution of ICP-MS. The instrument will serve as a training tool for students in the Earth and environmental sciences at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
