1053190Hickey-VargasThis award provides $128,651 in NSF funding over 12 months to acquire an ICP-OES and a microwave digestion system for research at Florida International University. Requested is an ICP-OES with wavelength range from the UV to IR so that multiple elements can be analyzed, radial and axial view options, high stability, and flexible inlet options. The new instrumentation will be upgrades or replacements for current instrumentation at FIU. The suite will support a newly created department which incorporates environmental science. The PIs will continue current research in the areas of mantle and crustal igneous processes, groundwater flow, interactions and dynamics, estuarine and lake sediment research, and paleoproxy identification and measurement. The instrumentation will be housed in existing space having all necessary environmental controls and power conditioning already in place. A service contract will be purchased as a historical part of the Department's budget. A departmental engineer is on staff to assist in maintenance and repairs. A use fee will be assessed for the ICP-OES. Ample sample preparation facilities are available and data will be collected, analyzed and archived in accordance with NSF's Data Sharing Policy. The new instruments will be a resource for research and education. The suite will be incorporated into graduate and undergraduate research projects. The acquisition will be key infrastructure in establishing the new Department of Earth & Environment. Funded research projects will produce results which will be disseminated through the peer-reviewed literature. In-place programs like the NSF GeoSCOPE and LTER Schoolyard will be outreach vehicles. FIU is a Minority- and Hispanic-Serving institution. Environmental science projects will have broad societal impacts. ***

1053190希基-瓦加斯这项奖励在12个月内为美国国家科学基金会提供128,651美元的资金，用于购买用于佛罗里达国际大学研究的ICP-OES和微波消化系统。所要求的是一种波长范围从UV到IR的ICP-OES，以便可以分析多个元素，具有径向和轴向视图选项、高稳定性和灵活的进气口选项。新的仪器将对金融情报室目前的仪器进行升级或更换。该套间将支持一个新成立的整合了环境科学的系。PIS将继续目前在地幔和地壳火成作用、地下水流动、相互作用和动力学、河口和湖泊沉积物研究以及古生物识别和测量等领域的研究。仪器将被安置在现有的空间内，所有必要的环境控制和电力调节都已经到位。将购买一份服务合同，作为该部预算的历史部分。一名部门工程师在工作人员协助维护和维修。将评估国际比较方案-OES的使用费。有充足的样品准备设施，数据将根据国家科学基金会的数据共享政策进行收集、分析和归档。新仪器将成为研究和教育的资源。该套装将被纳入研究生和本科生研究项目。此次收购将成为建立新的地球与环境部的关键基础设施。资助的研究项目将产生成果，这些成果将通过同行评议的文献传播。像NSF GeoSCOPE和LTER School lyard这样的就地项目将成为外展工具。FIU是一家为少数族裔和西班牙裔服务的机构。环境科学项目将产生广泛的社会影响。***
