0922814 McRobertsThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Funds from this grant will support the acquisition of a powder x-ray diffractometer (XRD) to facilitate research and research training in the Departments of Geology and Chemistry at the State University of New York at Cortland (SUNY-Cortland). The XRD will be used for phase identification of clay minerals in Mesozoic Paleoclimate studies and crystallographic characterization of novel metal-organic compounds. Two Co-I?s (Collins and Downey) are both early career scientists and new investigators to the NSF proposal process. The XRD will fill a gap in the analytical infrastructure at SUNY-Cortland, an institution that currently ranks in the top nine institutions in the U.S. that produce the largest numbers of K-12 teachers. Students exposed to modern methods of materials characterization and imparted with an understanding of data interpretation, potential error sources and analysis technique limitations are well prepared to disseminate a healthy understanding of the scientific process in our nation?s school systems.

XRD将用于中生代古气候研究中粘土矿物的物相鉴定和新型金属有机化合物的晶体学表征。 两个Co-I？s（柯林斯和唐尼）都是早期的职业科学家和新的调查员，以国家科学基金会的建议过程。 XRD将填补SUNY-Cortland分析基础设施的空白，该机构目前在美国排名前九，培养了最多的K-12教师。 学生接触到材料表征的现代方法，并与数据解释，潜在的错误来源和分析技术的局限性的理解传授做好充分准备，传播在我们国家的科学过程的健康理解？的学校系统。
