The oceans affect and sustain all life on
Earth. They drive and moderate weather and climate, provide us with
food, transportation corridors, pharmaceutical and other natural
products, and serve as a national security buffer. The oceans provide
tremendous value to our nation’s economy and many recreational
opportunities.
Faculty within the School of Earth Sciences
are currently involved in a wide range of interdisciplinary oceanographic
research projects covering the fields of biological oceanography,
marine biogeochemistry, paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. |

in this area include Kevin
Arrigo, Robert
Dunbar, Jim
Ingle.
Facilities used to conduct
research in this area include several gas
and solid state isotope mass spectrometers which allow us to
analyze carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, boron, calcium,
strontium and other isotopes on both solid, liquid and gas samples,
a TJA IRIS Advantage/1000 Radial ICAP Spectrometer with a solid
state CID detector, a LaChat Quick Chem 8000 spectrophotometric
flow injection analysis system, a delay coincidence Ra isotope counter
and a RAD-7 radon gas counter, a clean laboratory facility, flurometers,
HPLC, ICs, incubators and culturing facilities, XRD, SEM, Ion-Microprobe,
and many other facilities are available at the SES and used by this
group.
