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建立矿物分离和铀铅地球化学实验室。 这些实验室将用于地质年代学的本科研究项目，并改进一些本科地质学课程的教学。 矿物分离设备将用于从沉积物和沉积岩中浓缩重矿物，并在地貌学、古生物学和沉积学课程中分离化石。 它将与进行 U-Pb 地球化学的设备一起用于构造学和地质年代学课程，以说明同位素测年的原理。 NSF 为设备提供的 16,898 美元拨款将由威廉姆斯学院提供等额资金。 此外，威廉姆斯学院还提供约 50,000 美元的资金用于建筑翻新，以容纳新设备。
