1258940 KelleyThis EAR/Instrumentation and Facilities grant supports acquisition of of a Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectrometer and petrographic microscope for in situ, non-destructive analysis of volatile and organic species in natural glasses, minerals, and rocks at microscopic spatial scales. This instrument will complement existing micro-analytical tools at the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO), University of Rhode Island (URI) and support specific studies including 1) investigations of the role of volatiles (H2O and CO2) in plate tectonic cycles and mantle melting, 2) study of the behavior and fluxes of carbon in the Earth?s upper mantle, 3) research on magma/ice/meltwater interactions at glaciated stratovolcanoes, 4) studies of the role of volatiles in submarine explosive volcanism, and (5) investigations of the interplay of biological and geological processes in Earth?s nearsurface environments. The instrument will serve graduate students investigations at URI-GSO and the PIs plan outreach activities to expose regional Rhode Island science teachers with tools of modern geoscience research. ***

1258940 Kelley 这项 EAR/仪器和设施拨款支持购买傅里叶变换红外 (FTIR) 光谱仪和岩相显微镜，用于在微观空间尺度上对天然玻璃、矿物和岩石中的挥发性和有机物质进行原位无损分析。该仪器将补充罗德岛大学 (URI) 海洋学研究生院 (GSO) 现有的微观分析工具，并支持具体研究，包括 1) 挥发物（H2O 和 CO2）在板块构造循环和地幔中的作用的调查融化，2）研究地球上地幔中碳的行为和通量，3）研究冰川层火山的岩浆/冰/融水相互作用， 4）研究挥发物在海底爆发性火山活动中的作用，以及（5）研究地球近地表环境中生物和地质过程的相互作用。 该仪器将为 URI-GSO 的研究生调查提供服务，PI 计划开展外展活动，让罗德岛州地区的科学教师了解现代地球科学研究的工具。 ***
