Williams College will purchase equipment to establish mineral separation and uranium-lead geochemistry laboratories. These laboratories will be used for undergraduate research projects in geochronology, and to improve instruction in several undergraduate geology courses. The mineral separation equipment will be used to concentrate heavy minerals from sediments and sedimentary rock and to isolate fossils in courses in geomorphology, paleontology, and sedimentology. Together with the equipment for carrying out U-Pb geochemistry it will be used in courses in tectonics and geochronology to illustrate the principles of isotopic dating. The NSF grant of $16,898 for equipment will be matched by an equal amount of funds from Williams College. In addition, Williams College is providing approximately $50,000 in funds for building renovation to accommodate the new equipment.

威廉姆斯学院将购买设备以建立矿物分离和铀领导地球化学实验室。 这些实验室将用于年代学的本科研究项目，并改善几个本科地质课程的教学。 矿物分离设备将用于从沉积物和沉积岩石中浓缩重型矿物质，并在地貌，古生物学和沉积学课程中分离化石。 连同执行U-PB地球化学的设备，它将用于构造学和年代学课程中，以说明同位素约会的原理。 NSF赠款16,898美元的设备将与威廉姆斯学院的同等资金相匹配。 此外，威廉姆斯学院（Williams College）提供约50,000美元的资金来建造装修，以容纳新设备。
