RAPID: Acquisition of a Delta Ray Isotope Ratio Spectrometer for Earth Science Research

这项快速反应研究（Rapid）拨款支持购买一台激光腔衰落光谱仪，该光谱仪是研究人员从制造商那里借来的，目的是对南极洲埃里伯斯火山和阿留申火山的火山气体中的稳定碳同位素组成和二氧化碳浓度进行快速现场测量。制造商为购买光谱仪提供了很大的折扣，购买光谱仪将使PI能够使用该设备进行现场采样，以应对即将到来的南方夏季野外季节。该奖项将促进有助于我们了解火山过程和危害的研究，从而与NSF？美国的使命是促进科学的进步，促进国家的健康、繁荣和福利，因为了解火山过程和培养下一代科学工作者的现代实验分析技术的重要性

Fischer1664246This Grant for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) supports acquisition of a purchase a laser cavity ring down spectrometer that the investigator has been using from the manufacturer on loan for the purpose of making rapid field measurements of the stable carbon isotopic composition and CO2 concentrations in volcanic gases at Mt Erebus volcano in Antarctica and as well as Aleutian volcanoes. The manufacturer is offering a substantial discount for purchase of the spectrometer and purchase will allow the PI to conduct field sampling using this equipment for the rapidly approaching Austral summer field season. This award will foster research that informs our understanding of volcanic processes and hazards and thus is congruent with NSF?s mission of promoting the progress of science and advancing the national health, prosperity and welfare given the importance of understanding volcanic processes and for the training of next generation scientific workforce in modern experimental analysis techniques.***
