Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) has excellent                   inherent capabilities of very high mass resolution, sensitivity                 and speed in data collection that give it enormous potential in                 geochronology and other isotope geochemistry applications. A                    team of geoscientists at the State University of New York-                      Albany has recently installed a FTMS system purchased with NSF                  and SUNY funds on a 50-50 cost-sharing basis. This proposal                     requests funds to support a postdoctoral research associate for                 two years to aid in the development of FTMS applications for                    the geosciences. The research associate will focus during this                  period on optimizing the precision of isotope ratio                             measurements, including RF excitation sweep and mass                            fractionation effects, and on measurements of Pb/U ratios in                    zircons. The immediate goal of this project is to determine the                 applicability of the FTMS method for samples encountered in                     earth science research.
