This award provides funding to Colgate University Geology Department for a new geochemical analysis instrument. The new instrument, called an Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometer or ICP-MS, measures chemical elements in various materials. The facility will support research and research training in the physical and social sciences at Colgate University, as well as at numerous research programs at predominantly undergraduate colleges in the upstate New York region and beyond. Projects include studies of the composition of Earth's interior, formation of volcanic island chains, ice movement in the Antarctic, the formation of the Adirondack Mountains, volcanic lakes, airborne contaminants, Roman archaeological sites, the role of climate change in early human evolution, roadside spring water quality and surface runoff in the Finger Lakes Region, and identification of Paleolithic art pigments. The new instrument extends the two-decade history of the ICP-MS facility at Colgate University. More than 10 faculty and 50-80 student investigators will use the instrument during the grant period. Users will share their research with the public and the scientific community, testament to the wide reach of this interdisciplinary analytical facility. The ICP-MS will also be a cornerstone facility for courses at Colgate and nearby institutions, providing hands-on experience with modern instrumentation for many undergraduates.The new quadrupole Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) in the Colgate University Geology Department will support research and research training in the physical and social sciences across our institution, as well as in numerous research programs at predominantly undergraduate colleges in the upstate New York region and beyond. Projects include investigations into mantle compositions and ocean island geodynamics, magmatic evolution, provenance of Antarctic phonolites and their implications for ice sheet movement, petrochronology of Adirondack rocks, banded iron formation analog processes, volcanic lakes and hydrothermal systems, silt emplacement in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, formation of glaciovolcanic ridges, characterization of airborne particulates, tephrochronology in cores from the Temple of Athena at Paestum, roof tile terracotta provenance from Italian archaeological sites, paleoclimate variations and implications for early hominid evolution, multi-year studies of roadside spring water quality and surface runoff in the Finger Lakes Region, and geochemistry of Paleolithic art pigments. Users of the instrument will disseminate their research to the scientific community through publications, conference presentations, and public outreach, collaborate with scientists at major research institutions, and receive national funding for their projects, testament to the wide reach of this interdisciplinary analytical facility. The ICP-MS will also be a cornerstone facility for courses at Colgate and nearby institutions, providing hands-on experience with modern instrumentation for many undergraduates.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为高露洁大学地质系提供了资金，用于新的地球化学分析工具。新仪器称为电感耦合质谱仪或ICP-MS，测量了各种材料中的化学元素。该设施将支持高露洁大学物理和社会科学的研究和研究培训，以及在纽约州北部地区及其他地区的主要本科学院的众多研究计划中。项目包括对地球内部组成的研究，火山岛链的形成，南极的冰运动，阿迪朗达克山脉的形成，火山湖，空气污染物，罗马考古遗址，气候变化的作用，早期人类进化，路边春季水质和表面径流和身份径流区域的颜色和识别的颜色。新工具延长了高露洁大学ICP-MS设施的两个十年历史。超过10位教职员工和50-80名学生调查人员将在赠款期间使用该工具。用户将与公众和科学界分享他们的研究，这证明了这一跨学科分析设施的广泛影响力。 ICP-MS还将成为高露洁和附近机构课程的基石设施，为许多本科生提供现代仪器的动手经验。新的四倍长核能耦合等离子质量光谱仪（ICP-MS）在高露洁大学地理部门的范围内，在高露洁大学地理部门的范围内，在整个研究和社会研究方面的研究和研究培训都将在各种研究中进行研究，并在各种研究方面进行了研究。纽约北部地区及其他地区的本科学院。 Projects include investigations into mantle compositions and ocean island geodynamics, magmatic evolution, provenance of Antarctic phonolites and their implications for ice sheet movement, petrochronology of Adirondack rocks, banded iron formation analog processes, volcanic lakes and hydrothermal systems, silt emplacement in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, formation of glaciovolcanic ridges, characterization of airborne颗粒物，来自Paestum雅典娜神庙的核心，屋顶瓷砖陶土的出处，意大利考古遗址，古气候变化以及对早期人性化进化的影响，对手指湖区的路边春季水质和表面径流的多年研究，手指湖地区以及古代颜料的地球化学。该仪器的用户将通过出版物，会议演讲和公众推广将其研究传播给科学界，与主要研究机构的科学家合作，并为其项目获得国家资金，这证明了这一跨学科分析设施的广泛影响力。 ICP-MS还将成为高露洁和附近机构课程的基石设施，为许多本科生提供现代仪器的动手经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
