0948992GorringThis award will fund an electronics and computing upgrade on an existing ICP-OES system at in the Department of Earth and Environmental Studies at MSU. The upgrade will support diverse research projects within a wide range of disciplines including mantle and surface processes and bioremediation. Specific efforts include: northeast United States and the Southern Andes tectonic and magmatic history; marine and terrestrial sediment and loess-soil sequence paleoclimatic variability; and water and soil pollution and remediation studies. Research programs are funded by numerous agencies including NSF. The electronics upgrade will ensure long-term instrument stability and will extend the life of the instrument allowing high-quality geochemical data generation for MSU faculty, student researchers and outside users from local universities, government agencies, and the private sector. The instrumentation will support a growing and diverse student population comprised of 60% women and 20% minorities. Students are incorporated in laboratory and field research. Students lead presentations at international meetings and are incorporated into peer-reviewed papers. The instrument upgrade will greatly strengthen regional partnerships. The upgraded instrument will continue serving both undergraduate and graduate courses. K-12 outreach occurs in the summer through several in-house programs. The PI provides instrument training and administration, prioritizes use and assists in scheduling run time. Academic researchers are asked to contribute to consumables while outside users are charged a fee for samples which supplies funding for instrument maintenance and upkeep. ***

该奖项将资助密歇根州立大学地球与环境研究系现有的ICP-OES系统的电子和计算升级。升级将支持范围广泛的学科中的各种研究项目，包括地幔和地表过程以及生物修复。具体工作包括：美国东北部和南安第斯山脉的构造和岩浆史；海洋和陆地沉积物以及黄土-土壤序列；古气候变异性；水和土壤污染及修复研究。研究项目得到了包括NSF在内的众多机构的资助。电子升级将确保仪器的长期稳定性，并将延长仪器的寿命，使密歇根州立大学的教职员工、学生研究人员以及来自当地大学、政府机构和私营部门的外部用户能够生成高质量的地球化学数据。该工具将支持不断增长和多样化的学生人口，其中60%是女性，20%是少数族裔。学生被纳入实验室和实地研究。学生在国际会议上领导演讲，并被纳入同行评议的论文中。仪器升级将大大加强区域伙伴关系。升级后的仪器将继续为本科生和研究生课程服务。K-12在夏季通过几个内部项目进行外展。PI提供仪器培训和管理，确定使用优先级，并协助安排运行时间。学术研究人员被要求为消耗品做出贡献，而外部用户则被收取样品费用，为仪器维护和维护提供资金。***
