项目摘要

Intellectual MeritThe PIs request funding to acquire single and multi-collector ICP-MS instrumentation, complemented by a solid-state laser-ablation sample introduction system. The proposed instrumentation will serve research efforts covering four academic units at the institution: geological sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, marine science, and public health. These research efforts include investigations into solid earth geochemistry including: mantle geochemistry, subduction magmatism, and U-Pb detrital-zircon geochronology; paleoceanography and paleoclimatology: past ocean circulation and sediment provenance, climate proxy development (Si isotopes), and proxy validation; climate change research: iron fertilization, classification of bloom-forming phytoplankton, and upper ocean particle formation and export; and phase partitioning, transport, and biological uptake of nano-materials in environmental systems. Broader ImpactsThe proposed instrumentation will be incorporated into a suite of education efforts, including inclusion in undergraduate and graduate courses, informal training of undergraduates and graduates as part of research efforts, inclusion in summer programs, including the TRIO Programs Upward Bound (focusing on economically disadvantaged students without a family history of college attendance) and the SPRI program (mentoring high school students in faculty labs). The proposed instrumentation will also support the research efforts of two new hires, including one early career scientist. Cross-institution collaborative efforts with the University of Georgia, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and Skidaway Institute of Oceanography would also be enabled should the proposed instrumentation be acquired.

智力优势PI 请求资金购买单接收器和多接收器 ICP-MS 仪器，并辅以固态激光烧蚀样品引入系统。拟议的仪器将为该机构四个学术单位的研究工作提供服务：地质科学、化学和生物化学、海洋科学和公共卫生。这些研究工作包括对固体地球化学的研究，包括：地幔地球化学、俯冲岩浆作用和 U-Pb 碎屑-锆石地质年代学；古海洋学和古气候学：过去的海洋环流和沉积物来源、气候代理开发（硅同位素）和代理验证；气候变化研究：铁施肥、形成水华的浮游植物分类、上层海洋颗粒的形成和输出；环境系统中纳米材料的相分配、传输和生物吸收。更广泛的影响拟议的仪器将被纳入一系列教育工作中，包括纳入本科生和研究生课程、作为研究工作一部分的本科生和研究生的非正式培训、纳入暑期项目，包括 TRIO 向上发展项目（重点关注经济弱势群体）没有大学入学家族史的学生）和 SPRI 计划（在教师实验室指导高中生）。拟议的仪器还将支持两名新员工的研究工作，其中包括一名早期职业科学家。如果获得拟议的仪器，与佐治亚大学、北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校和斯基德威海洋学研究所的跨机构合作也将成为可能。
