MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for an Undergraduate Research Program in Fluvial Biogeochemistry

该奖项通过主要研究仪器（MRI）计划获得，为购买一套仪器提供支持，用于对美国东南部皮埃蒙特地区受人为影响和原始河流的地表水进行生物地球化学研究。南卡罗来纳州格林维尔弗曼大学的研究人员和学生，以及来自南方联合学院的其他文科机构的学生和教师。将能够使用以下设备：用于测量营养物质浓度（即NO3-， PO43-）的自动分析仪；用于测定天然水体中有机碳负荷的库仑仪系统以及用于测量叶绿素a的荧光计。该仪器将补充弗曼现有的分析仪器，并将用现代水地球化学分析方法促进美国东南部本科生的教学和培训

0116487AndersenThis award made through the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, provides support for the acquisition of a suite of instruments to be used in biogeochemical research on surface waters from anthropogenically impacted and pristine rivers in the Piedmont of the southeastern U.S. Researchers and students at Furman University in Greenville, SC in addition to students and faculty from other liberal arts institutions that are a part of the Associated Colleges of the South, will have access to the following: an autoanalyzer for measurement of nutrient concentrations (i.e. NO3-, PO43-); a coulometer system for the determination of the organic carbon load in natural waters; and a fluorometer for the measurement of chlorophyll a. This instrumentation will complement existing analytical instruments at Furman and will advance teaching and training of undergraduate students in the southeastern U.S. with modern analytical methods in aqueous geochemistry.***
