was made this morning by the program director of the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust in order to assess a grant proposal to fund the acquisition of a stable isotope mass spectrometer for use in teaching and research in environmental science at EWU. Kudos to my colleagues -- Profs. Black, McNeely and Nezat -- for compiling the grant application and leading the presentation today.
My personal research interest in the device focuses on using it to age date the groundwater circulating in aquifer systems (using oxygen isotopes), thereby allowing better understanding of residence times and recharge areas. Learn more about the use of stable isotopes at this web site.
We'll know if we're funded sometime in late August 2009. Fingers crossed.
