Consortium Proposal: Acquisition of an ICP-MS for Elemental and Isotopic in Analysis in the Earth and Environmental Sciences

9871009马尔坎托尼奥这个授予杜兰大学的重大研究仪器奖与路易斯安那州的泽维尔大学合作，提供了一种电感耦合等离子质谱仪，用于研究各种需要研究痕量元素的课题，并强调环境和海洋科学。它将特别用于分析沿海沉积物中的铀同位素，深海沉积物中的铀-钍不平衡，以及路易斯安那州及邻近地区沿海和河口样品中的铅同位素和其他重金属。该设施将设在现有的生物环境研究中心。杜兰大学和泽维尔大学的教职员工都计划让研究生和本科生参与这一系统的操作和应用，以研究问题。该项目由美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部和地球科学部共同支持。杜兰大学将为项目总成本的30%提供成本分摊支持。***

9871009 Marcantonio This Major Research Instrumentation award to Tulane University in collaboration with Xavier University of Louisiana provides an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer for study of a variety of topics requiring study of trace elements, and emphasizing environmental and marine sciences. It will be particularly used in the analysis of uranium isotopes in coastal sediments, uranium-thorium disequilibrium in deep ocean sediments, and lead isotopes and other heavy metals in coastal and bayou samples from Louisiana and adjacent regions. The facility will be housed in the existing Center for Bioenvironmental Research. Faculty at both Tulane and Xavier plan to involve students, both graduate and undergraduate, in operation and application of this system to research problems. The project is supported jointly by the Division of Ocean Sciences and Division of Earth Sciences at NSF. Tulane University will provide cost-share support for 30% of total project costs. ***
