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）资助的。这项资助为亚利桑那大学环境物理和矿物学中心（CEPM）的一名实验室技术人员提供为期三年的部分工资支持。该（CEPM）房屋分析设备的研究环境物理，矿物学和土壤科学，提供高质量的物理和矿物学表征地球表面材料和其他多孔介质。技术员吗?他的职责将包括管理和操作CEPM的分析仪器，协助制定一般和专门的测量方案，以及培训地球与环境科学专业的本科生和研究生使用一系列的分析仪器。该技术人员将直接支持早期职业PI关于土壤水力特性和土壤矿物质在固碳中的作用的研究，并促进学生在土壤和矿物表征的现代分析研究方法方面的培训。

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.
