0320723KennettThis Major Research Instrumentation award to University of California Santa Barbara provides funds for acquisition of an isotope ratio mass spectrometer with a carbonate preparation system, to be used primarily for the analysis of marine carbonates. The instrumentation will replace a heavily used, aging mass spectrometer, and it will be installed in a recently refurbished laboratory and managed as a recharge facility open to UCSB and outsider researchers. The principal use will be for the study of paleoclimates and paleoceanography, continuing and extending research on oxygen and carbon isotopic variations in marine sediments as a tool to understand global stratigraphy, biogeochemical cycles, land-sea reservoir changes, and CO2 and CH4 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. The proposal includes plans for expansion of research into new, interdisciplinary areas involving faculty in earth sciences, anthropology and biology, and it is expected to have a major impact on education of undergraduate and graduate students at UCSB. This instrumentation award is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF.***

这份授予加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（University of California Santa Barbara）的主要研究仪器奖为购买一台带有碳酸盐制备系统的同位素比质谱仪提供了资金，主要用于分析海洋碳酸盐。该仪器将取代使用频繁、老化的质谱仪，并将安装在最近翻新的实验室中，作为充电设施对UCSB和外部研究人员开放。其主要用途是研究古气候和古海洋学，继续和扩展海洋沉积物中氧和碳同位素变化的研究，作为了解全球地层学、生物地球化学循环、陆海储层变化以及海洋与大气之间CO2和CH4交换的工具。该提案包括将研究扩展到新的跨学科领域的计划，涉及地球科学、人类学和生物学的教师，预计将对UCSB的本科生和研究生教育产生重大影响。该仪器奖由美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部资助
