Training In and Application of State-of-the-Art Spectrometric and Liquid Chromatographic Techniques in Undergraduate Marine Science Curricula

香农角海洋中心的海洋项目将通过购买高效液相色谱系统得到加强。这种现代化的海洋研究设备将被西华盛顿大学环境科学和生物学专业（海洋生态学和河口课程）的学生、社区大学的学生和做独立研究项目的学生使用。讲习班将培训社区学院的教师和学生以及世界水大学的学生使用这种设备，使他们能够分析水样中的石油碳氢化合物、多环芳烃、脂肪酸和选定的营养物质（硝酸盐和磷酸盐）。学校将提供50%的配套资金。

Marine programs at the Shannon Point Marine Center will be enhanced by the purchase of a High Performance Liquid Chromatography system. This modern marine research equipment will be used by Western Washington students majoring in environmental science and biology (in Marine Ecology and in Estuary courses), by community college students, and students doing independent research projects. Workshops will train the community college faculty and students, and the WWU students in the use of this equipment, which will enable them to analyze water samples for petroleum hydrocarbons, PAH's, fatty acids, and selected nutrients (nitrates and phosphates). The university will provide 50% matching funds.
