0732380ReinersThis grant provides partial support for a full time lab manager/technician for the (U-Th)/He dating and sector ICP-MS labs in Geosciences at the University of Arizona. The lab manager supports user training, sample processing, equipment maintenance, and planning and design in both labs. (U-Th)/He chronometry (He dating) has expanded dramatically in the last decade and is now a staple of many regional tectonic and geomorphologic studies requiring constraints on the timing and rate of shallow-crustal exhumation. The He dating lab at the UofA supports training and analyses for diverse projects and workshops involving both external and internal PIs, undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and faculty. The lab conducts research in tectonic and geomorphic applications and experimental development and innovative applications of He dating. It performs experiments necessary for dating and interpreting He ages of unexplored phases, improved analytical methods, and applying He dating to a range of novel problems such as surface wildfire, detrital studies, and meteorite thermal histories. All of these projects require support from the lab manager/technician for user training, sample processing, and instrument maintenance. In addition to supporting He dating operations for both internal and external users, the technician support proposed here will provide for routine high-resolution (sector) ICP-MS analyses and training to a broad spectrum of users internal and external to the University of Arizona.

0732380Reiners这笔赠款为亚利桑那大学地球科学 (U-Th)/He 测年和部门 ICP-MS 实验室的全职实验室经理/技术员提供部分支持。 实验室经理支持两个实验室的用户培训、样品处理、设备维护以及规划和设计。 (U-Th)/He 测年法（He 测年）在过去十年中得到了显着扩展，现已成为许多区域构造和地貌学研究的主要内容，需要限制浅地壳折返的时间和速率。佛罗里达大学的 He 约会实验室支持各种项目和研讨会的培训和分析，涉及外部和内部 PI、本科生和研究生、博士后和教师。实验室开展构造地貌应用及氦测年实验开发和创新应用研究。它进行了必要的实验，以测定和解释未勘探阶段的氦年龄，改进分析方法，并将氦测年应用于一系列新问题，如地表野火、碎屑研究和陨石热历史。所有这些项目都需要实验室经理/技术人员的支持，以进行用户培训、样品处理和仪器维护。除了支持内部和外部用户的氦测年操作外，这里提出的技术支持还将为亚利桑那大学内部和外部的广泛用户提供常规高分辨率（扇区）ICP-MS 分析和培训。
