REU: Development of Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry (MIMS) for Photosynthesis and Other Studies of Dissolved Gas Fluxes

该奖项支持一项为期两年的工作，旨在开发用于质谱分析的膜入口系统，并将其用于浮游植物光合作用期间氧通量的初步测量。初步的光合作用研究是研究浮游植物光合作用和呼吸作用的新途径，此外，膜入口系统可用于各种海洋生物活性气体的研究。后一种申请包括二氧化碳，因此奖金的一小部分将作为全球海洋通量研究的一部分。

This award supports a two year effort to develop a membrane inlet system for mass spectrometry and to use it in preliminary measurements of oxygen flux during phytoplankton photosynthesis. The initial photosynthetic studies are a novel approach to phytoplankton photosynthesis and respiration and in addition, the membrane inlet system can be used for a variety of marine studies of biologically active gases. These latter applications include carbon dioxide so that a small portion of the award will be made as part of the Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS).
