Support for the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF)

该合同为东北国家离子微探针设施（NENIMF）提供支持，使其成为一个多用户设施，服务于地球科学社区。自2010年1月以来，该设施已经容纳了来自33个不同机构的66名用户。NENIMF的分析能力为地球科学界在两个关键领域提供了独特的资源，我们在这两个领域有良好的记录：测定硅酸盐玻璃中的岩浆挥发物丰度，分析作为气候变化及其对海洋生物影响记录的生物成因碳酸盐。NENIMF的用户还研究了一系列的课题，包括金红石地质测速法中的Zr，石英中的Ti扩散，独居石和锆石的U-Th-Pb测年。这些和许多其他类型的SIMS应用的分析协议和标准材料可在NENIMF获得。在促进教学、培训和学习的同时，发现和理解得到了推进，通过本科生、研究生和博士后的参与，扩大了未被充分代表群体的参与。通过每年举办一次的短期课程，鼓励青年科学家参与基于sims的研究。我们在Fall AGU和Goldschmidt会议上的展览向许多不同领域的研究人员介绍了SIMS的分析能力。通过向来自不同学科的科学家和学生提供我们现有的分析平台以及NENIMF人员将开发的分析平台，研究和教育的基础设施得到了加强。研究成果广泛传播，以加强科学和技术的了解，每年平均出版15份使用新能源基金的出版物。

This award provides support for the Northeast National Ion Microprobe Facility (NENIMF) to operate as a multi-user facility serving the geoscience community. Since January 2010, the facility has accommodated sixty-six users from thirty-three different institutions. The analytical capabilities of the NENIMF provide a unique resource to the geoscience community in two key areas where we have a well-established track record: determination of magmatic volatile abundances in silicate glasses, and analysis of biogenic carbonates as records of climate change and its impacts on marine organisms. NENIMF users have also worked on a range of topics that include Zr in rutile geospeedometry, Ti diffusion in quartz, and U-Th-Pb dating of monazite and zircon. Analytical protocols and standard materials for these and many other types of SIMS applications are available at the NENIMF. Discovery and understanding are advanced while promoting teaching, training, and learning and participation of underrepresented groups is broadened through the involvement of undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs. Involvement of young scientists in SIMS-based research is encouraged through short-courses held once each year. Our exhibits at Fall AGU and Goldschmidt conferences introduce researchers in many different fields to the analytical capabilities of SIMS. Infrastructure for research and education are enhanced through making both our existing analytical platforms, and those to be developed by the NENIMF personnel, available to scientists and students from diverse disciplines. Research results are disseminated broadly to enhance scientific and technological understanding through an average of 15 publications per year that result from use of the NENIMF.
