0321299SchwalmSupport from this Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant will allow for the acquisition of a suite of analytical instruments to be employed in local environmental geosciences research, Oglala Lakota Tribal College undergraduate student education, and regional K-12 outreach efforts on the Pine Ridge American Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The Pine Ridge Reservation is the second largest reservation in the U.S. with over 12 million acres and approximately 11,000 residents. Oglala Lakota Tribal College is a community governed four-year academic institution with approximately 1300 students located in nine college centers across the reservation. The analytical equipment will be used at Oglala Lakota to equip a mobile field lab that will serve the college centers across this large reservation for applied environmental research including studies of pervasive and deleterious black mold spores in reservation homes and buildings, base line research on the transport and fate of agricultural pesticides through regional watersheds, and studies of methane and CO2 emissions from abandoned and illegal landfills on the reservation. Major equipment to be purchased include: 1) a Membrane Interface Probe that is specifically designed to work on the college's current GeoProbe coring system for in situ analyses of volatile organic compounds in sediments and pore waters; 2) an aerosol monitoring system for black mold studies; 3) a dual frequency GPS receiver for accurate sample site positioning and integration into a developing GIS educational module; 4) a combined water quality monitoring system that includes conductivity, dissolved oxygen, temperature and turbidity sensors and; 5) an ATV and trailer to complement the existing mobile van equipped for field-based analytical work on this large reservation with few roads. ***

0321299 Schwalm从这个主要的研究仪器（MRI）计划补助金的支持将允许收购一套分析仪器，用于当地的环境地球科学研究，Oglala Lakota部落学院本科生教育，并在松树岭美国印第安人保留地在南达科他州区域K-12推广工作。 松岭保留地是美国第二大保留地，拥有超过1200万英亩的土地和大约11，000名居民。 Oglala Lakota Tribal College是一所由社区管理的四年制学术机构，约有1300名学生分布在整个保留地的九个学院中心。 分析设备将在奥格拉拉拉科塔用于装备一个移动的现场实验室，该实验室将服务于这个大型保留地的大学中心，用于应用环境研究，包括研究保留地房屋和建筑物中普遍存在的有害黑霉菌孢子，通过区域流域对农业杀虫剂的运输和命运进行基线研究，以及对保留地废弃和非法垃圾填埋场的甲烷和二氧化碳排放量的研究。 将购置的主要设备包括：1）一个专门为学院现有的GeoProbe取芯系统设计的膜界面探测器，用于沉积物和孔隙沃茨中挥发性有机化合物的现场分析; 2）一个用于黑霉菌研究的气溶胶监测系统; 3）一个双频全球定位系统接收器，用于准确的采样点定位，并将其纳入正在开发的地理信息系统教育模块; 4）一个综合水质监测系统，包括电导率、溶解氧、温度和浊度传感器; 5）一辆ATV和拖车，以补充现有的移动的货车，用于在这个道路很少的大型保留地进行实地分析工作。***
