A gamma spectrometry facility for cutting edge environmental geochemistry investigations

用于前沿环境地球化学调查的伽马能谱设备：该项目将提供前沿伽马能谱设备。该设施将进行高精度的放射性核素测量，以解决复杂的环境过程，如沉积物积聚、土壤侵蚀、海底地下水排放、大气沉积、海洋碳清除和水团循环。该项目意义重大，因为所获得的数据将填补对土壤、地下水、河流、河口和海洋中碳、氮和微量金属循环的理解的基本空白。该项目的结果是更好地了解区域和全球生物地球化学循环。

A gamma spectrometry facility for cutting edge environmental geochemistry investigations: This project will provide a cutting edge gamma spectrometry facility. The facility will perform high precision radionuclide measurements to resolve complex environmental processes such as sediment accumulation, soil erosion, submarine groundwater discharge, atmospheric deposition, marine carbon scavenging, and water mass circulation. This project is significant because the data obtained will fill fundamental gaps in the understanding of carbon, nitrogen, and trace metal cycling in soils, groundwater, rivers, estuaries, and the ocean. The outcome of this project is a better understanding of regional and global biogeochemical cycles.
