The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a Project Grant of $312,822 to Weber State University (WSU) to acquire a new high-resolution cathode-luminescence (CL) imaging system for their scanning electron microscope (SEM). The CL system will be integrated with the existing SEM housed in WSU's College of Science Microscopy (COSMIC) lab, supporting student training in instrumentation, data science, and image processing through undergraduate research and course projects. The new CL-SEM system will enhance WSU's research infrastructure and capabilities, enabling interdisciplinary collaborations across science departments and with external institutions. Key research areas leveraging the CL-SEM system include geochronological and geochemical analysis of minerals, microstructural analysis of fault/shear zone materials, and characterization of thin-film optoelectronic materials. This award under the NSF Geosciences program aims to increase research capacity at a variety of institution types, as outlined in the GEO EMBRACE Dear Colleague Letter. The project will commence on August 1, 2023, and conclude on July 31, 2024.
