项目摘要

This award supports the acquisition of a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS) with a laser ablation (LA) system to be housed in the Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science at Miami University. The (LA)-MC-ICP-MS will complement the existing Triton thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS), creating a state-of-the-art isotope geochemistry facility for student training and research initiatives in a wide range of geoscience and related disciplines. The (LA)-MC-ICP-MS will enable students to gain significant hands-on experience with modern analytical techniques that are becoming widely applied across disciplines in science and medicine, and throughout industry and government employment sectors. The new instrumentation will also be a key component of two new programs that the PIs will develop for training and mentoring of underrepresented groups in STEM: a summer research program for local high school girls, and a First Year Research Experience for minority students, linked to Miami's Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program.The (LA)-MC-ICP-MS will facilitate research initiatives in the areas of high temperature geochemistry (e.g., crustal evolution, growth of orogenic belts, subduction fluxes, magmatic processes and timescales) and low-temperature geochemistry (e.g., paleoclimate reconstruction, ore deposit formation, fate and transport of environmental contaminants), as well as geoarchaeology, geobiology, geomicrobiology, planetary geology, and nuclear forensics. The research will involve analysis of a wide range of radiogenic (Nd, Pb, Hf, Th, U) and non-traditional stable isotope systems, including several that are in the relatively early stages of development and application, e.g., solution-based Mo, Ag, 235U/238U "stable" isotope systems; and in situ U-Pb and U-Th dating (carbonates) and Sr, Mg, and S isotopes via LA-MC-ICP-MS. As such, acquisition of the proposed instrumentation will contribute to further establishing these isotope systems and techniques as useful geochemical tools that can be used community-wide and applied to a wide range of future scientific investigations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持在迈阿密大学地质与环境地球科学系购买一台带有激光烧蚀（LA）系统的多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（MC-ICP-MS）。（LA）-MC-ICP-MS将补充现有的Triton热电离质谱仪（TIMS），为广泛的地球科学和相关学科的学生培训和研究计划创建最先进的同位素地球化学设施。（LA）-MC-ICP-MS将使学生获得现代分析技术的重要实践经验，这些技术正在广泛应用于科学和医学的各个学科，以及整个工业和政府就业部门。新的仪器也将是两个新项目的关键组成部分，PI将开发用于STEM中代表性不足的群体的培训和指导：为当地高中女生提供暑期研究项目，为少数民族学生提供第一年的研究经验，链接到迈阿密的路易斯斯托克斯联盟少数民族参与计划。（洛杉矶）-MC-ICP-MS将促进高温地球化学领域的研究计划（例如，地壳演化，造山带的生长，俯冲通量，岩浆过程和时间尺度）和低温地球化学（例如，古气候重建、矿石存款形成、环境污染物的归宿和迁移），以及地质考古学、地质生物学、地质微生物学、行星地质学和核法医学。这项研究将涉及分析广泛的放射性成因（Nd、Pb、Hf、Th、U）和非传统稳定同位素系统，包括几个处于开发和应用相对早期阶段的系统，例如，基于溶液的Mo、Ag、235 U/238 U“稳定”同位素系统;原位U-Pb和U-Th测年（碳酸盐）和Sr、Mg和S同位素。因此，获得拟议的仪器将有助于进一步建立这些同位素系统和技术，作为可用于社区的有用的地球化学工具，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
