Acquisition of a High Sensitivity Gas Source Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer

9512288莫拉该合同提供购买同位素比气源质谱仪系统所需资金的一半，该系统将在田纳西-诺克斯维尔大学地质科学系安装和运行。田纳西大学承诺提供收购所需的剩余资金。该设备将主要用于首席调查员和在研究生培训中需要其分析能力的同事的研究和教学活动，以及用于研究项目，包括对土壤碳酸盐和粘土的同位素研究以解释古气候变化、北极海洋环境的生物化学研究和地下水研究。***

9512288 Mora This award provides one-half the funding required for the acquisition of an isotope ratio gas source mass spectrometer system to be installed and operated in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. The University of Tennessee is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary for the acquisition. The equipment will be used primarily in the research and teaching activities of the principal investigator and colleagues who require its analytical capabilities in graduate training and in research projects including isotopic studies of soil carbonates and clays to interpret paleoclimatic changes, biochemical studies of the Arctic marine environment and groundwater research. ***
