This award will provide $250,000 to the Florida State University for the acquisition of a sector magnet inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (SM-ICP-MS). This instrument will replace a 14-year-old ELEMENT1 in a common facility used by several earth science researchers. The manufacturer does not support service on that instrument anymore and spare parts are scarce. The instrument over the last few years has seen significant downtime due to more and more frequent breakdown of components. FSU will match the NSF contribution at the amount of $250,000 for a total budget of $500,000. FSU also supports this ICP-MS facility with a state-funded technical position. The new instrument will support a variety of funded projects. Several ongoing research programs at FSU are critically dependent upon the availability of in-house state-of-the-art ICP-MS capability, especially: (1) studies of iron cycling in the ocean in relation to global carbon cycling; (2) studies of aerosolized trace metal deposition in the sea; (3) studies of the global mercury cycle; and geochemical dynamics of the Earth's mantle and crust.BROADER IMPACTS: The Geochemistry Program of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory supports graduate students (12 present) and post-docs (3) that will use this instrument in their research. The instrument is essential for projects that are part of larger scale research programs such as CLIVAR and GEOTRACES. Apart from the research of the primary PIs and their students and post-docs, the instrument will contribute to the research of other faculty in the Department of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, as well as faculty of the Department of Chemistry, the NHMFL and users outside FSU.

该奖项将为佛罗里达州立大学提供25万美元，用于收购磁铁电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（SM-ICP-MS）。该乐器将在几位地球科学研究人员使用的常见设施中取代14岁的元素1。制造商不再支持该乐器上的服务，并且备件很少。由于越来越频繁的组件崩溃，该仪器在过去几年中已经发生了大量停机时间。 FSU将以250,000美元的总预算为$ 500,000，将NSF捐款的数量与NSF捐款相匹配。 FSU还以国家资助的技术职位为ICP-MS设施提供支持。新工具将支持各种资助的项目。 FSU的一些正在进行的研究计划非常依赖于内部最先进的ICP-MS能力的可用性，特别是：（1）海洋中的铁循环研究与全球碳循环有关； （2）对海洋中雾化的痕量金属沉积的研究； （3）全球汞周期的研究；以及地球地幔和地壳的地球化学动力。BoarDer的影响：国家高磁场实验室的地球化学计划支持研究生（12位）和DOCECS（3）（3），这些研究生将在其研究中使用此工具。该仪器对于是Clivar和Geotraces等大规模研究计划的项目至关重要的。除了对主要PIS及其学生和职业生涯的研究外，该乐器还将为地球海洋和大气科学系的其他教师以及化学系，NHMFL，NHMFL和FSU以外的用户的研究做出贡献。
