Early Career: Technician Support for the University of Arizona Center for Environmental Physics and Mineralogy

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供资金的。这笔赠款为亚利桑那大学环境物理和矿物学中心(CEPM)的一名实验室技术员提供了为期三年的部分工资支持。CEPM拥有用于环境物理、矿物学和土壤科学研究的分析设备，以提供对地球表面材料和其他多孔介质的高质量物理和矿物学表征。技术人员S的职责将包括CEPM分析仪器的管理和操作，协助制定通用和专门的测量方案，以及培训地球和环境科学本科生和研究生一系列分析仪器。该技术人员将直接支持关于土壤水力性质和土壤矿物在固定有机碳方面的作用的早期职业PI的研究，并促进学生对土壤和矿物表征的现代分析研究方法的培训。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This grant provides partial salary support for a laboratory technician for the University of Arizona Center for Environmental Physics and Mineralogy (CEPM) over a three year period. The (CEPM) houses analytical equipment for research in environmental physics, mineralogy, and soil science, to provide high quality physical and mineralogical characterization of Earth surface materials and other porous media. The technician?s duties will include management and operation of the CEPM analytical instrumentation, assistance with development of general and specialized measurement protocols and training of undergraduate and graduate Earth and environmental science students in a range of analytical instrumentation. The technician will directly support the research of an early career PI on soil hydraulic properties and the role of soil minerals in sequestering organic carbon and facilitate student training in modern analytical research methods for soils and mineral characterization.
