MRI: Acquisition of an Inductively-Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) for Geological and Biological Research and Education

1040107伍兹该奖项支持购买ICP-OES用于地质和生物研究。所要求的是科罗拉多州立大学富勒顿分校地质和生物研究人员所需要的分析能力。该仪器将提供内部分析，以支持目前需要签订实验室合同的外部资助研究。pi将研究一系列的研究主题，包括古环境重建、环境生物地球化学、温度年代学和海洋生态学。为了更好地了解古地理，将对热层进行分析。将评估受影响环境中的金属污染物。在海洋生态学应用方面，pi将跟踪海洋生物种群之间的海水元素流动。该仪器将直接支持pi下属的学生。并建议将其作为非专业课程的教学资源。CSUF是一所西班牙裔服务学院，近50%的生物学毕业生是女性。研究成果将发表在同行评议的文献中。首席PI将负责保管和管理仪器。新用户在被允许操作仪器之前将接受培训。该文书将成为15所地方学院/大学的区域资源。将重新收取费用以支持长期维修

1040107WoodsThis award supports the acquisition of an ICP-OES for geological and biological research. Requested are analytical capabilities sought by both geological and biological researchers at CSU-Fullerton. The instrument will offer in-house analyses to support extramurally-funded research now requiring contract laboratory contracts. The PIs will attack a range of research themes including paleoenvironmental reconstructions, environmental biogeochemistry, tephrochronology and marine ecology. Tephra beds will be assayed in order to better understand paleogeography. Metal contaminants will be assessed in impacted environments. For the marine ecology applications, the PIs will track seawater elemental flow between marine organism populations. The instrument will directly support students affiliated with the PIs. It is also proposed as a teaching resource for non-major courses. CSUF is a Hispanic Serving Institute with close to 50% of biology graduates being women. Research results will be published in peer-reviewed literature. The lead PI will house and administer the instrument. New users will be trained before being allowed to operate the instrument. The instrument will be made a regional resource for 15 local colleges/universities. Cost re-charges will be instituted to support long-term maintenance.***
