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

1040107木材该奖项支持收购一家用于地质和生物研究的ICP-OES。所要求的是CSU-Fullerton的地质和生物研究人员寻求的分析能力。该仪器将提供内部分析，以支持目前需要合同实验室合同的外部资助研究。PIS将涉及一系列研究主题，包括古环境重建、环境生物地球化学、年代学和海洋生态学。为了更好地了解古地理，将对特弗拉岩层进行分析。金属污染物将在受影响的环境中进行评估。对于海洋生态学的应用，PI将跟踪海洋生物种群之间的海水元素流动。该仪器将直接支持附属于PI的学生。还建议将其作为非主修课程的教学资源。CSUF是一家西班牙裔服务机构，近50%的生物学毕业生是女性。研究结果将发表在同行评议的文献中。首席PI将负责仪器的安装和管理。新用户将在被允许操作该仪器之前接受培训。该仪器将成为15所地方学院/大学的地区性资源。将重新收取费用，以支持长期维护。*

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.***
