The objective of this proposal is to upgrade the facilities of the Northeast Science Station (near Cherskiy, Siberia), enabling greatly expanded analytical capacity onsite. The equipment purchases include a Shimadzu total organic carbon and nitrogen analyzer, muffle furnace, precision balance, stereo microscope, and YSI multi-parameter water quality logger. Increased analytical capacity at the Northeast Science Station will facilitate expanded freshwater, marine, and terrestrial research opportunities and minimize the logistical costs associated with international shipping and customs. Many types of analyses are best done on fresh samples, so the capacity to perform measurements onsite will also improve data reliability. The upgraded analytical facilities would benefit student training. The upgrades requested in this proposal would accelerate scientific progress and allow sampling strategies to be adapted in the field based on results of recently collected and analyzed samples.

该提案的目的是升级东北科学站（西伯利亚切尔斯基附近）的设施，从而实现现场分析能力大大扩展。设备购买包括Shimadzu总有机碳和氮分析仪，炉子炉，精密平衡，立体声显微镜和YSI多参数水质记录仪。东北科学站的分析能力提高将促进扩大的淡水，海洋和陆地研究机会，并最大程度地减少与国际运输和海关相关的后勤成本。最好在新鲜样品上进行许多类型的分析，因此在现场进行测量的能力也将提高数据可靠性。升级的分析设施将受益于学生培训。该提案中要求的升级将加速科学进步，并允许根据最近收集和分析样本的结果在现场中调整采样策略。
