Early Career: Acquisition of an ICP-OES to Support Research and Education in the Environmental Geosciences

1530582 Rouff这笔赠款支持购买一个电感耦合等离子体光发射光谱仪（ICP-OES）将被安置在罗格斯大学地球与环境科学系？纽瓦克。 ICP-OES将支持环境地球化学研究，这需要能够以低检测限（ppm-ppb）和高精度确定天然样品中的元素浓度。 调查人员包括早期职业教师和一名代表性不足的地球科学家，此次收购将通过与城市可持续性问题相关的分析地球化学体验式学习，支持重点努力扩大代表性不足的学生在地球科学研究中的参与。此次收购将促进人类排泄物产生的鸟粪石（鸟粪石）和土壤中微量金属的生物地球化学循环。***

1530582RouffThis grant supports acquisition of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) to be housed in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Rutgers University ? Newark. The ICP-OES would support research in environmental geochemistry that requires the ability to determine elemental concentrations in natural samples with low detection limits (ppm-ppb) and high precision. The investigators include early career faculty and an underrepresented geoscientist and the acquisition will support focused efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in geoscience research through experiential learning in analytical geochemistry with relevance to issues of urban sustainability.Research on trace metal interactions with a phosphate mineral precipitate (struvite) produced from human waste and the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in soils will be facilitated by this acquisition. ***
