NSF funds will be used to acquire a multicollector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICPMS). The MC-ICPMS will promote understanding of environmental challenges for rural Arizona, including remediation of areas that have been polluted from mining, sourcing and transport/fate of anthropogenic pollutants, volcanic hazards, and evidence for - and ecosystem responses to - global change. It will improve STEM-related teaching and research training at a university that serves a large rural Arizona and Native American population, as well as a large Hispanic community. The diverse research capabilities enabled by the new MC-ICPMS will be integral to the new comprehensive, integrative, and distinctive Earth and Environmental Systems Ph.D. program. The MC-ICPMS will advance research and training in isotope chemistry that spans the Geology, Chemistry/Biochemistry, Anthropology, Biology, Environmental Sciences and Forestry programs. With this instrument, the assembled investigators and their students will obtain high precision isotopic data for geochemical and geochronological investigations across the mass spectrum. The new MC-ICPMS will play a vital role in advancing the research objectives of at least 15 professional scientists and their students, including advancing knowledge related to: (1) the assembly and eruption of magmas responsible for explosive, sometime giant, events; (2) anthropogenic pollution; (3) landscape and tectonic evolution; and (4) large earthquakes and periodic fluid migration from depth.

NSF资金将用于获取多积分诱导的等离子质谱仪（MC-ICPMS）。 MC -ICPM将促进对亚利桑那州农村环境挑战的了解，包括修复人为污染物的采矿，采购和运输/命运，火山危害以及对 - 全球变化的生态系统反应的证据。它将在一所大学为亚利桑那州乡村和美洲原住民以及一个大型西班牙裔社区的大学提供与STEM相关的教学和研究培训。新的MC-ICPMS启用的多样化研究功能将是新的综合，综合和独特的地球和环境系统博士学位不可或缺的一部分。程序。 MC-ICPM将推进同位素化学研究和培训，该研究涵盖地质，化学/生物化学，人类学，生物学，环境科学和林业计划。借助该仪器，组装的研究人员及其学生将获得高精度的同位素数据，以在整个质谱中进行地球化学和地质学研究。新的MC-ICPM将在促进至少15位专业科学家及其学生的研究目标中发挥至关重要的作用，包括提高与以下方面的知识：（1）岩浆的集会和喷发负责爆炸性，有时巨大的活动； （2）人为污染； （3）景观和构造进化； （4）大地震和周期性的液体从深度迁移。
