Enhancing the Monash-VIEPS Stable Isotope Facility

这项建议旨在加强莫纳什-维多利亚地球和行星科学研究所(VIEPS)稳定同位素设施，以扩大我们在水文地质学、水文学、水化学、现代和古气候学、沉积学、地球化学、经济地质学和生物科学方面的最先进研究能力。届时，该设施的分析能力将至少与澳大利亚其他地区的分析能力相当，并将保持我们作为世界级稳定同位素研究设施的地位。改进后的设施将允许开展新的研究，这将导致在传统地球科学内部和跨学科开展新的合作。

This proposal is to enhance the Monash-Victorian Institute of Earth and Planetary Sciences (VIEPS) Stable Isotope Facility to expand our capacity for state-of-the-art research in hydrogeology, hydrology, aqueous chemistry, modern and palaeoclimatology, sedimentology, geochemistry, economic geology, and biological sciences. This facility will then have an analytical capability that is at least the equal of those elsewhere in Australia and which will maintain our position as a World Class stable isotope research facility. The enhanced facility will permit new research to be carried out that will lead to new collaborations both within the traditional Earth Sciences and across disciplines.
