This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $1,236,369.00 to the University of Washington to acquire an Orbitrap Fourier Transform Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer. This specialized equipment will enable the university's multi-user stable isotope laboratory to conduct advanced research on topics such as paleoclimate, atmospheric chemistry, and the co-evolution of oxygen and life. The Orbitrap technology allows for isotopic analysis of intact molecules without the need for gas conversion, expanding the range of scientific questions that can be explored through isotope ratio measurements. The project aims to enhance the university's research capabilities and train students in cutting-edge analytical techniques, while also contributing to broader educational and community engagement initiatives.
