MRI: Acquisition of a Laser Ablation High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer

[0420839]这项主要研究仪器奖授予了新泽西州的罗格斯大学，为其海洋与海岸科学研究所和地质科学系的研究和教学提供了一台高分辨率电感耦合等离子体质谱仪。该合同包括对激光烧蚀样品导入系统的支持。除了海洋和地球科学应用之外，预计其用途将包括广泛的环境和健康科学研究，就像它将取代的系统一样。此次收购的更广泛影响包括在多个层面上强调教育和培训，从学生实习到研究人员的方法课程。此外，这些仪器将作为共享设施进行管理，向罗格斯大学内外的研究人员开放，并将用于研究一系列具有重大社会意义的项目（气候变化、污染、侵蚀）。罗格斯大学将从非联邦基金中提供项目成本的30%。该提案得到了美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部的支持。＊＊＊

0420839SherrellThis Major Research Instrumentation award to Rutgers University in New Jersey provides funds for acquisition of a high-resolution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer for research and teaching at the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences and the Department of Geological Sciences. The award includes support for a laser ablation sample introduction system. In addition to marine and earth sciences applications, it is expected that use will include a wide array of environmental and health sciences research, as has been the case with the system it will replace. The broader impacts of the acquisition include a major emphasis on education and training at a number of levels, from student internships through methods courses for researchers. In addition the instrumentation will be managed as a shared-use facility, open to researchers from throughout Rutgers and outside, and it will be used to study a wide array of projects with compelling societal relevance (climate change, pollution, erosion). Rutgers is providing cost-share of 30% of the project cost from non-federal funds. This proposal is supported by the Division of Ocean Sciences at NSF. ***
