0115884MelchiorreThis grant, made through the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, provides partial support to purchase a Finnigan MAT DELTAplus stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer with GasBench II. This equipment will be a key part of our Environmental, Hydrology, and Geochemistry program for both undergraduate research and the research of the P.I. Instrumentation will be housed within the newly renovated $32 million Julian Science and Mathematics Building at Depauw University. The requested equipment will serve growing student interest in environmental geochemistry as well as ongoing collaborative research on acid mine drainage and basin hydrology with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Indiana Geological Survey (IGS). The P.I., his students, and colleagues will also utilize the spectrometer for research on deep basin groundwater and formation fluid migration. Ongoing projects with significant student involvement includes studies of contaminant transport from acid mine drainage sites within Indiana (with IDNR and IGS), studies of surface water/groundwater interactions in the Wolf-Red (Wisconsin) and Tippecanoe-Wabash (Indiana) watersheds, isotopic studies of groundwater systems in fracture-flow and karst environments in southern Indiana, and studies of tectonic-driven formation fluid migration in California. Faculty at DePauw University with separate funding will make significant use of the laboratory to examine fluvial sediment transport and systematics and to participate in the Indiana Riverwatch Program. As a member of both the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) and the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), the P.I. is firmly committed to promoting student participation for those groups traditionally underrepresented in the Earth Sciences. This commitment is echoed and supported by DePauw University, and efforts are underway to link the environmental stable isotope laboratory with DePauw's Women in Science Program and to participate in projects with Native American Tribal Colleges in evaluating the isotope hydrology of the Red-Wolf river basin of Wisconsin. This environmental stable isotope facility will be open to in house use as well as outside students and colleagues.***

通过主要研究仪器（MRI）计划制造的0115884Melchiorrethis Grant提供了部分支持，以购买使用Gasbench II的Finnigan Mat Deltaplus稳定的同位素比率质谱仪。该设备将是我们的环境，水文学和地球化学计划的重要组成部分，以及P.I.的研究。 仪器将安置在DePauw University的新近翻新的3200万美元朱利安科学与数学大楼内。所请求的设备将对学生对环境地球化学的兴趣以及与印第安纳州自然资源部（IDNR）和印第安纳州地质调查局（IGS）进行酸矿物排水和盆地水文的持续合作研究。 P.I.，他的学生和同事还将利用光谱仪研究深层地下水和地层迁移。正在进行的学生参与的正在进行的项目包括研究印第安纳州酸性矿山排水地点（具有IDNR和IGS）的污染物运输，对狼红（威斯康星州）的地表水/地下水相互作用的研究以及蒂皮卡诺 - 瓦巴什（印第安纳州），同位素，同位素，同位素对印第安纳州南部裂缝流和喀斯特环境中的地下水系统的研究，以及加利福尼亚州构造形成液迁移的研究。 DePauw University的教师将拥有单独的资金，将大量利用实验室来检查河流沉积物的运输和系统学，并参加Indiana Riverwatch计划。作为美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISS）的成员，以及P.I. Chicanos和美国原住民科学（SACNAS）的进步协会坚定地致力于促进这些群体在地球科学中人数不足的群体的参与。这项承诺得到了DePauw University的回应和支持，并正在努力将环境稳定的同位素实验室与DePauw的科学妇女计划联系起来，并与美国原住民部落学院一起评估项目，以评估评估的同位素水平。威斯康星州。这种环境稳定的同位素设施将在房屋使用以及外部学生和同事中开放。***
