0949366HillThis grant supports acquisition of equipment to establish a sedimentology lab at Coastal Carolina University (CCU). Equipment that will be acquired includes a laser diffraction particle size analyzer, stereomicroscope, purified water system, microbalance, benchtop centrifuge, laboratory oven, sample microsplitter and vortex mixer. Characterization of grain size, shape, particle distribution, and mineralogy will aid in determination of sediment provenance and the hydrodynamic conditions of deposition for studies of barrier beach evolution and dynamics, coastal sediment transport processes and studies of sea level history as recorded in coastal sediments. Particle size analysis will also aid studies in benthic ecology, environmental water quality and geoarchaeology. The equipment will support faculty and student research and research training including two early career PIs. CCU boasts the largest undergraduate Marine Science program on the east coast and has recently developed and interdisciplinary Masters graduate program in Coastal Marine and Wetland Studies. The equipment will support student training in modern sedimentary analysis methods.***

0949366希尔这笔赠款支持购置设备，以建立一个沉积学实验室在沿海卡罗莱纳大学（CCU）。 将购置的设备包括激光衍射粒度分析仪、体视显微镜、纯化水系统、微量天平、台式离心机、实验室烘箱、样品微量分离器和涡旋混合器。 粒度、形状、颗粒分布和矿物学的表征将有助于确定沉积物的来源和沉积的水动力条件，用于研究障壁海滩的演变和动力学、沿海沉积物输运过程和沿海沉积物中记录的海平面历史研究。 粒度分析还将有助于底栖生态学、环境水质和地质考古学的研究。 该设备将支持教师和学生的研究和研究培训，包括两个早期职业PI。 CCU拥有东海岸最大的本科海洋科学课程，最近开发了沿海海洋和湿地研究的跨学科硕士研究生课程。 该设备将支持对学生进行现代沉积分析方法的培训。
