Acquisition of an ICP-OES for Geoscience Research at the University of New Mexico

新墨西哥大学(UNM)地球与行星科学系在地球化学、生物地球化学、气候学、古气候学、变质岩石学、火山学、矿物学、材料和沉积地球化学方面拥有强大的研究内容。这项奖励将资助一台电感耦合等离子体-光发射光谱仪(ICP-OES)，它将取代过时的仪器，并扩大我们在元素分析方面的能力。该仪器将在我们的研究生和本科生的教学和培训活动中发挥重要作用。该电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪(和建议的附件)可用于分析粉碎和消化的岩石以及分析各种元素浓度的水。必要的人员已就位，可用于操作、维护、故障排除、培训实验室用户，并生成准确、可靠和可辩护的数据，以加强我们的研究计划。***

EAR-0447402CrosseyThe Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences (E&PS) at the University of New Mexico (UNM) has strong research components in geochemistry, biogeochemistry, climatology, paleoclimatology, metamorphic petrology, volcanology, mineralogy, materials, and sedimentary geochemistry. This award will fund an Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) that will replace outdated instruments and expand our capabilities in elemental analysis. The instrument will play a major role in our graduate and undergraduate teaching and training activities. The ICP-OES (and proposed attachments) can be used for analyzing pulverized and digested rocks and analyzing water for a wide range of elemental concentrations. The necessary personnel are in place and available to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, train laboratory users, and generate accurate, reliable, and defensible data to enhance our research programs. ***
