A gamma spectrometry facility for cutting edge environmental geochemistry investigations: This project will provide a cutting edge gamma spectrometry facility. The facility will perform high precision radionuclide measurements to resolve complex environmental processes such as sediment accumulation, soil erosion, submarine groundwater discharge, atmospheric deposition, marine carbon scavenging, and water mass circulation. This project is significant because the data obtained will fill fundamental gaps in the understanding of carbon, nitrogen, and trace metal cycling in soils, groundwater, rivers, estuaries, and the ocean. The outcome of this project is a better understanding of regional and global biogeochemical cycles.
