Analytical Laboratory for Research in Environmental Biology

亚利桑那州立大学的一个研究小组建议， 购买元素/同位素分析系统， 环境生物学 环境生物学是一个关键的 由于快速发展的 人口和相关的环境压力 西南 拟议 仪器仪表将 支持学科研究，如：河流-河岸和 湖泊生态系统，重点是养分循环， 转化;昆虫比较生理学研究 氮排泄;和宿主营养质量， 嗜恶螨自然种群的繁殖成功率 苍蝇 大学将支持这一奋进， 提供一名专门从事实验室、空间 以及在空间、维护成本 以及资本购买的成本分摊。 这些项目都是 以学生的大量参与为特点 研究人员（研究生和本科生）。 这 仪器将允许显著改善 训练这些学生。

A research group at Arizona State University proposes to purchase an element/isotope analysis system for use in environmental biology. Environmental biology is a critical area for development because of a rapidly expanding population and associated environmental stress in the Southwest. The proposed instrumentation will support studies of subjects such as: stream- riparian and lake-ecosystems, focusing on nutrient cycling and transformation; comparative physiology research on insect nitrogen excretion; and host nutritional quality and reproductive success in natural populations of cactophilic flies. The University will support this endeavor by providing a technician dedicated to the laboratory, space and necessary improvements in the space, maintenance costs, and cost-sharing on capital purchases. The projects are all characterized by substantial involvement of student researchers (graduates and undergraduate). This instrumentation will allow a significant improvement in training of these students.
