This award will provide funding to continue limited support of some of the operations of the NSF-Arizona Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Facility. This facility provides radiocarbon measurements for a broad range of NSF research projects. These studies utilize radiocarbon as a dating tool and as a chemical tracer for carbon pathways in nature. The role of the laboratory is to facilitate radiocarbon research for the greater scientific community, develop new and improved analytical techniques, conduct original independent research, and provide a framework for scientific and educational progress at all levels. The broader impacts of the research are derived from the widespread applications of 14C and associated cosmogenic radionuclides, which cross the boundaries between geology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, and physics.

该奖项将提供资金，继续对NSF亚利桑那加速器质谱（AMS）设施的一些操作提供有限的支持。 该设施为广泛的NSF研究项目提供放射性碳测量。 这些研究利用放射性碳作为定年工具和作为自然界碳途径的化学示踪剂。 该实验室的作用是促进更大的科学界的放射性碳研究，开发新的和改进的分析技术，进行原创的独立研究，并为各级科学和教育进步提供框架。 这项研究的更广泛影响来自14C和相关宇宙成因放射性核素的广泛应用，它们跨越了地质学，考古学，生物学，化学和物理学之间的界限。
