Oceanographic Instrumentation, R/V Blue Heron, 2009

这项奖励是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。请求资助R/V蓝鹭号的额外和后备仪器，这是一艘86英尺长的沿海船只，由明尼苏达大学拥有，由大湖区观测站运营，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)研究船队的一部分。该奖项包括三个项目：1)沉积物捕捉器2)氟探针3)库伦堡取心系统危害：共享仪器的获取、维护和操作使来自美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员能够获得用于其研究的经过校准的工作仪器，从而降低了研究成本，并扩大了潜在研究人员的基础。取样设备的增加，加上正在航行的海水分析工具和沉积物取样装置，将加强在五大湖唯一在联索政治处保护伞下工作的R/V蓝鹭号支持各种海洋科学学科的能力。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation for the R/V Blue Heron, an 86 foot Coastal vessel owned by the University of Minnesota and operated by the Large Lakes Observatory as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet. The award includes three items:1) Sediment Traps2) Fluoroprobe3) Kullenberg Coring SystemBroader Impacts: The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers. The addition of the sampling equipment coupled with underway seawater analysis tools and a sediment sampling device will enhance the capabilities of R/V Blue Heron, the only vessel working under the UNOLS umbrella in the Great Lakes, to support a wide range of marine scientific disciplines.
