The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the University of Houston to support the acquisition of an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The award falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. The mass spectrometer will enhance the University's analytical capabilities for stable isotope characterization of light elements in various matrices, including clumped isotopes in carbonates. It will improve research programs across Earth sciences, allow previously unavailable analyses, and increase sample throughput and precision. The instrument will also provide hands-on training for postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students involved in geological and paleoclimate studies. This supports the development of a new generation of scientists, particularly among historically underrepresented groups in STEM. Broader impacts include outreach to engage local K-12 students in geoscience and raise public awareness of science.
