An integrated facility for the advanced characterisation of environmental particles

用于环境颗粒高级表征的综合设施：该项目将开发一个最先进的设施，用于快速连续地全面确定各种环境中出现的颗粒的粒径、浓度和表面特性。将几种新颖和先进的仪器结合到一个综合设施中，将允许目前在澳大利亚任何地方都无法轻松进行的原位和动力学实验。这将使沉积物地球化学、污染物流动性和生物地球化学等领域的国际重要研究活动取得重大进展。因此，该项目将有助于解决几个紧迫的全球环境问题，同时为澳大利亚的研究增加大量的新能力。

An integrated facility for the advanced characterisation of environmental particles: This project will result in development of a state-of-the-art facility for comprehensive determination of particle size, concentration and surface properties for a wide range of environmentally occurring particles, in rapid succession. Combining several novel and advanced instruments into an integrated facility will permit in situ and kinetic experiments that are currently unable to be easily undertaken anywhere in Australia. This will enable major progress for internationally significant research activities in areas including sediment geochemistry, contaminant mobility, and biogeochemistry. The project will thus help to address several pressing global environmental issues while adding substantial new capabilities for Australian research.
