This grant supports the UCLA ion microprobe as a national facility for research in the earth and planetary sciences by enabling access to qualified external investigators and supporting continued development of analytical methods that take advantage of the unique strengths of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for in situ isotopic analyses. Our vision is that costly geochemical tools, such as the CAMECA ims 1270 ion microprobe, should be a community resource supported in centers with the scientific and technical expertise needed to fully exploit their potential. Prior NSF support has led to numerous significant discoveries in fields ranging from tectonics and igneous processes to sedimentology, paleoclimatology and paleobiology, the earliest history of the Earth and the origin and early evolution of the Solar System. In the current grant period, our goal is to ensure that the nation's geochemists, cosmochemists, and geochronologists continue to have access to our world-leading facilities at a level commensurate with our historic productivity, provide UCLA scientists the resources to continue to develop and refine existing and new SIMS methods for research in geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and geochronology, and undertake instrument modifications that lead to improvements in data acquisition and expanded capabilities that facilitate new types of investigations. Research training will continue to be a high priority and UCLA scientists will engage in synergistic activities both locally and nationally, including professional programs and K-12 education and outreach.

该赠款通过使能够访问合格的外部研究人员的访问，并支持利用次级离子质谱（SIMS）的独特优势的分析方法来支持加州大学洛杉矶分校的微探针作为地球和行星科学研究的国家设施。 我们的愿景是，昂贵的地球化学工具，例如Cameca IMS 1270离子微型探针，应该是一个社区资源，在具有充分利用其潜力所需的科学和技术专业知识的中心支持的社区资源中。 先前的NSF支持导致了从构造和火成岩过程到沉积学，古气候学和古生物学，地球最早的历史以及太阳系的起源和早期演变的领域。 在当前赠款期内，我们的目标是确保国家的地球化学主义者，宇宙学家和地球人数学家继续以与我们的历史生产力相称的水平来访问我们的世界领先设施，并为UCLA科学家提供资源，为在现有和新的Sims进行了研究，以进行研究，并在地球化学方面进行研究，并在地球化学方面进行研究，并进行地球化学，以及地球化学和地球化学和地球化学的研究，以及，并将其构成地球化学，以及地球化学，以及地球化学和地球化学的研究，以及，并将其构成地球化学，以及地球化学和地球化学方法，并提供了研究。扩展的功能，促进新型调查类型。 研究培训将继续是高等优先事项，UCLA科学家将在当地和全国范围内从事协同活动，包括专业计划以及K-12教育和外展活动。
