MRI: Acquisition of instruments for biogeochemical analyses of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus

在大卫U博士的指导下，西华盛顿大学获得了一个奖项。Hooper获得了一个用于分析陆地、淡水和海洋生态系统中碳、氮和磷的系统。 这些仪器将支持对植物、土壤、沉积物和来自河流、海洋和排水系统的各种水样进行营养分析的研究。 该仪器系统将被安置在综合实验室网络中，该网络允许远程操作和校园内研究实验室和教室中数据的真实的实时可视化。 这种测量对于研究入侵植物物种、恢复溪流附近的植被、受干扰森林土壤中的碳和氮循环以及海洋和湿地生境中的养分循环至关重要。 西华盛顿大学非常重视本科教育，包括学生研究项目。 该仪器系统将用于本科生和硕士生的项目，并在生物学和环境科学教师讲授的课程。

An award has been made to Western Washington University under the direction of Dr. David U. Hooper for the acquisition of a system for analyzing carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. The instruments will support research on nutrient analysis of plants, soils, sediments, and various water samples from streams, oceans, and drainage systems. The instrument system will be housed in the Integrated Laboratory Network, which allows for remote operation and real time visualization of data in research laboratories and classrooms across the campus. Such measurements are essential in studies of invasive plant species, restoration of vegetation near streams, carbon and nitrogen cycling in disturbed forest soils, and nutrient cycling in marine and wetland habitats. Western Washington University has a strong emphasis on undergraduate education, including programs in student research. The instrument system will be used by undergraduates and masters level students for projects, and in courses taught by faculty in biology and environmental sciences.
