Support of the 3rd Biennial Geochemical Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) Workshop, Tempe, Arizona

0120247 Leshin该基金为第三届两年一次的地球化学西姆斯（二次离子质谱）研讨会提供资助，该研讨会将于2001年10月12日至14日在亚利桑那州滕佩的Buttes酒店和会议中心举行。作为两年一次的系列研讨会的第三次，这次会议将汇集大部分美国地球科学家，他们管理，维护和/或利用二次离子质谱法对自然和人造材料进行微空间微量元素和同位素分析。 该研讨会将侧重于来自社区的演讲，这些演讲涉及开发用于地质和宇宙化学应用的新西姆斯技术，通过NSF赞助的西姆斯设施（即WHOI; NOM-0115433和UCLA; NOM-0113563）为社区提供更好的服务，以及共享和开发实验室标准。 PI，劳里Leshin，目前负责监督亚利桑那州立大学新成立的（CN-9871270）CAMECA 6 f西姆斯设施，并包括来自美国学术界和政府实验室的卓越西姆斯实验室的受邀者名单。 其他与会者将包括来自西姆斯仪器制造商（CAMECA和澳大利亚科学仪器）的代表，并应确保使用西姆斯的美国地球科学家的分析需求将有效地传递给能够促进仪器改进的私营部门。

0120247LeshinThis grant provides support for the 3rd Biennial Geochemical SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) Workshop to be held at The Buttes Hotel and Conference Center in Tempe, AZ, October 12-14, 2001. The third in a series of biennial workshops, this meeting will bring together the bulk of U.S. geoscientists who either manage, maintain and/or utilize secondary ion mass spectrometry for microspatial trace element and isotopic analyses of natural and man made materials. The workshop will focus on presentations from the community that address developing new SIMS techniques for geological and cosmochemical applications, providing improved service to the community through NSF-sponsored SIMS facilities (i.e. WHOI; EAR-0115433 and UCLA; EAR-0113563) and the sharing and development of laboratory standards. The PI, Laurie Leshin, currently oversees a newly established (EAR-9871270) CAMECA 6f SIMS facility at Arizona State University and has included a list of invitees from the preeminent SIMS labs in U.S. academia and government labs. Additional attendees will include representatives from the manufactures of SIMS instrument (CAMECA and Australian Scientific Instruments) and should ensure that the analytical needs of U.S. geoscientists who use SIMS will be effectively transmitted to the private sector capable of facilitating instrumental improvements.***
