The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $373,965 Project Grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to support the Arizona LaserChron Center (ALC). The ALC is an NSF Community Facility that utilizes laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) to determine U-Th-Pb ages, Hf isotope ratios, and trace element abundances from minerals in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. The primary goals of the ALC are to: (1) generate high-precision, high-accuracy, and high-spatial resolution data; (2) provide researchers worldwide with access to the ALC's instruments and expertise; (3) drive the development of new analytical methods and applications; (4) build new cyberinfrastructure; and (5) enhance expertise and diversity among geochronologists. The 5-year award period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029.
