MRI: Acquisition of Equipment to Support Research and Education in Ecosystem Science and Resource Management

在Daniel Kelting博士的指导下，Paul Smith学院获得了一套用于生态学研究和教学的仪器，并因此获得了一个奖项。该仪器将能够测量生物样品的元素分析，测量水生和陆地样品中的碳和氮含量，以及植物和土壤样品中的金属含量。这些数据可以用于学院附近森林和湖泊的生态系统研究，以及流域监测。这些仪器将由生物学学生在野外生态学的顶点课程中使用。该设备还将成为校园周围阿迪朗达克公园地区居民的社区资源。

An award has been made to Paul Smith's College under the direction of Dr. Daniel Kelting for the acquisition of a suite of instruments to be used in on ecological research and teaching. The instrument will enable measurement of elemental analysis of biological samples, measurement of carbon and nitrogen content in aquatic and terrestrial samples, and metal content in plant and soil samples. Such data can be used in studies of ecosystem studies of forests and lakes near the college, and in watershed monitoring. The instruments will be used by biology students in a capstone course on field ecology. The equipment will also be a community resource for residents in the Adirondack Park area surrounding the campus.
