Technician Support: Gas-Source Mass Spectrometry Laboratories

9508106巴顿该奖项为一名实验室技术员提供部分资助，该技术员将监督亚利桑那大学两个气体源稳定同位素比质谱仪实验室的运营和维护。质谱仪是地球科学系、水文系和亚利桑那大学树轮实验室的几名教职员工和他们的学生的基本研究工具。这些实验室开展的各种研究包括热液岩石-流体相互作用、地下水化学、生态学、古生态学和第四纪古气候研究。这项研究在很大程度上依赖于质谱仪实验室的分析能力。技术人员的主要职责将包括操作和维护两个质谱仪及其相关的气体提取管道，以及培训学生和高级用户。***

9508106 Barton This award provides partial funding for the support of a laboratory technician who will oversee the operation and maintenance of two gas-source stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry laboratories at the University of Arizona. The mass spectrometers are an essential research tool of several faculty members and their students in the departments of geosciences, hydrology, and the University of Arizona Tree-Ring Laboratory. A broad variety of research carried out in these laboratories include studies in hydrothermal rock-fluid interactions, ground water chemistry, ecology, paleoecology and Quaternary paleoclimate research. The research depends critically on the analytical capabilities of the mass spectrometry labs. The primary responsibilities of the technician will include operation and maintenance of the two mass spectrometers and their associated gas extraction lines, as well as the training of student and senior users. ***
