Support for the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) 2010-2011

1035310Gaetani该奖项在12个月内提供168,038美元的资金，用于支持伍兹霍尔的东北国家离子微探测器设施(NENIMF)。该设施将以PI为管理器和IMS 1280为特色，这将允许灵活和广泛的分析。该设施可以分析铀、锆石和独居石Th-Pb年代学，用于测温的高分辨率锆石钛测量，硅酸盐玻璃中的挥发分和同位素分析，以及海相碳酸盐中的元素比率。该设施作为一个多用户的国家资源，具有相当大的外部机构需求。主要设施是硅酸盐玻璃和生物碳酸盐中岩浆挥发分的微量分析。其他得到支持的项目包括确定古海洋学指标、确定地球动力学环境的熔融包裹体分析、海底喷发历史和高压熔融分析。作为一个多用户设施，影响将跨越所支持的项目范围。世卫组织和其他机构的学生和科学家将接受培训，并可获得专门的分析。暑期学生研究员将成为研究培训的目标。通过该设施产生的数据将被纳入研究生课程。货币基金组织将通过由私人投资机构组成的内部指导委员会和外部咨询委员会运作，私人投资机构将与该委员会密切合作。咨询委员会的会议将按月举行。网站和出版历史将用于宣传所提供的服务。***

1035310GaetaniThis award provides $168,038 in funding over 12 months to support the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) at Woods Hole. The facility will feature the PI as the manager and an IMS 1280 which will allow flexible and wide-ranging analyses. The facility can analyze uranium, zircon and monazite Th-Pb chronology, high-resolution zircon Ti measurements for thermometry, volatiles and isotopic analysis in silicate glasses, and elemental ratios in marine carbonates. The facility behaves as a multi-user national resource with considerable outside institution demand. Principal facility interests are in microanalysis for magmatic volatiles in silicate glasses and biogenic carbonates. Other projects supported range from determining paleoceanographic proxies, melt inclusion analysis to determine geodynamic environments, submarine eruption histories and high pressure melt analyses. As a multi-user facility, impacts will span the range of projects supported. Students and scientists from WHOI and other institutions will be afforded training and have access to specialized analyses. Summer student fellows will be targeted for research training. Data generated through the facility will be incorporated into graduate courses. The NENIMF will operate through an internal steering committee consisting of the PIs and an outside advisory committee with which the PIs will work closely. The advisory committee meetings will be scheduled monthly. A website and publication history will be used to advertise the offered services. ***
