EAR-0318213JohnsonFunding will supply 75% of the salary required for three years for a new technician in the Radiogenic Isotope Lab at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, which is required to staff a new $ 1M lab that includes a new multi-collector, inductively-coupled plasma mass-spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) [Micromass IsoProbe]. The remaining 25% funding for the full-time technician position will come from university sources. The new technician position will provide core technical support for NSF-EAR research projects on stable isotope variations of Fe, Cu, Zn, and Hg, as well as radiogenic isotope studies of the Lu-Hf, U-Th, and U-Pb systems, as applied to problems in geomicrobiology, geochemistry, water chemistry, metamorphism, volcanism, and planetary evolution. The research plan the technician position will support is quite broad, spanning the fields of geology, microbiology, water chemistry, and space science. Students will be involved at all levels, from undergraduate students to senior post-docs. In addition, the research will involve collaborators from a large number of other institutions. Several of the projects involve work that is directly pertinent to societal issues, including water quality and volcanic hazards, as well as those that involve a broader scope, including the origin and evolution of life.

约翰逊基金将为威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学放射性同位素实验室的新技术人员提供三年所需工资的75%，该实验室需要配备一个新的100万美元的实验室，其中包括一个新的多收集器，电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（MC-ICP-MS）[Micromass IsoProbe]。 全职技术人员职位的其余25%资金将来自大学来源。 新的技术人员的位置将提供核心技术支持的NSF-铁，铜，锌，汞的稳定同位素变化的研究项目，以及Lu-Hf，U-Th和U-Pb系统的放射性同位素研究，适用于地质微生物学，地球化学，水化学，变质作用，火山作用和行星演化的问题。 技术人员职位将支持的研究计划相当广泛，涵盖地质学，微生物学，水化学和空间科学领域。 学生将参与各个层次，从本科生到高级博士后。 此外，这项研究将涉及来自大量其他机构的合作者。 其中一些项目涉及与社会问题直接相关的工作，包括水质和火山灾害，以及涉及范围更广的工作，包括生命的起源和进化。
