TECHNICIAN SUPPORT: Watershed Studies at Dartmouth College [Phase II]

这笔赠款支持继续资助达特茅斯学院地球科学系稳定同位素实验室的一个技术职位。这一技术立场在过去三年中得到了先前第一阶段赠款(EAR-0111403)的支持。这笔赠款将在未来两年支持Anthony Faiia博士：操作和维护两台稳定的同位素比质谱仪和相关外围设备，一台ICP-OES、IC和TOC分析仪；开发新的分析方案；培训学生实验室分析技术；以及监督安全和废物处理程序。法伊亚博士还继续与系外合作者进行研究，并教授一门实地课程。达特茅斯学院承诺，在这两年的资助期之后，将全力支持这一立场，直至2008年。该设施支持的研究包括季节性积雪影响地下水和河流系统补给的稳定同位素和元素示踪研究，一般流域水文地球化学研究，土壤碳循环研究，以及全新世古气候的树状年代学和稳定同位素研究。***

The technical position has been supported for the last three years under a previous Phase I grant (EAR-0111403). This grant will support Dr. Anthony Faiia over the next two years to: operate and maintain two stable isotope ratio mass spectrometers and related peripherals, an ICP-OES, IC, and TOC analyzer; develop new analytical protocols; train students in lab analytical techniques; and oversee safety and waste disposal procedures. Dr. Faiia also continues to conduct research with collaborators outside of the department and teaches a field course. Dartmouth College has committed to full support of this position through 2008 after this two year funding period. Research supported by this facility includes stable isotopic and elemental tracer studies of seasonal snowpack influenced recharge of groundwater and fluvial systems, general watershed hydrogeochemistry, studies of carbon cycling in soils, and dendrochronological and stable isotopic studies of Holocene paleoclimate. ***
