Support for the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) 2010-2011

该合同在12个月内提供168,038美元的资金，用于支持伍兹霍尔的东北国家离子微探针设施（NENIMF）。该设施将采用PI作为管理器和IMS 1280，这将允许灵活和广泛的分析。该设备可以分析铀、锆石和独居石的Th-Pb年代学，用于测温的高分辨率锆石Ti测量，硅酸盐玻璃中的挥发物和同位素分析，以及海洋碳酸盐的元素比。该设施作为一种多用户的国家资源，具有相当大的外部机构需求。主要研究方向是硅酸盐玻璃和生物碳酸盐中岩浆挥发物的微量分析。其他支持的项目包括确定古海洋学代用物、熔体包裹体分析以确定地球动力学环境、海底喷发历史和高压熔体分析。作为一个多用户设施，其影响将跨越所支持项目的范围。来自世卫组织和其他机构的学生和科学家将获得培训并获得专门分析。暑期学生研究员将成为研究培训的目标。通过该设施产生的数据将纳入研究生课程。新货币基金组织将通过一个内部指导委员会和一个外部咨询委员会来运作，该委员会由私人机构和私人机构组成，私人机构将与该委员会密切合作。咨询委员会会议将按月举行。网站和出版历史将用于宣传所提供的服务。＊＊＊

1035310GaetaniThis award provides $168,038 in funding over 12 months to support the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) at Woods Hole. The facility will feature the PI as the manager and an IMS 1280 which will allow flexible and wide-ranging analyses. The facility can analyze uranium, zircon and monazite Th-Pb chronology, high-resolution zircon Ti measurements for thermometry, volatiles and isotopic analysis in silicate glasses, and elemental ratios in marine carbonates. The facility behaves as a multi-user national resource with considerable outside institution demand. Principal facility interests are in microanalysis for magmatic volatiles in silicate glasses and biogenic carbonates. Other projects supported range from determining paleoceanographic proxies, melt inclusion analysis to determine geodynamic environments, submarine eruption histories and high pressure melt analyses. As a multi-user facility, impacts will span the range of projects supported. Students and scientists from WHOI and other institutions will be afforded training and have access to specialized analyses. Summer student fellows will be targeted for research training. Data generated through the facility will be incorporated into graduate courses. The NENIMF will operate through an internal steering committee consisting of the PIs and an outside advisory committee with which the PIs will work closely. The advisory committee meetings will be scheduled monthly. A website and publication history will be used to advertise the offered services. ***
