This award provides one-half the funds required to purchase                an isotope ratio mass spectrometer and a laser ablation source for              the microanalysis of mineral samples. The new spectrometer system               will replace two stable isotope spectrometers, one almost 40 years              old, and the other installed in 1972 but inadequate for modern                  work. The equipment will be installed and operated in the                       Department of Geosciences at the Pennsylvania State University.                 Penn State University will provide the remaining funds necessary                for the acquisition.                                                                 The new facility will be used to carry out research projects               on: (1) the origin of sulfur in igneous rocks and its effect on                 the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits; (2) kinetics of                     reaction between organic matter and aqueous sulfate under ore                   forming conditions; (3) origin of shale/carbonate-                              hosted deposits of base metals; (4) mechanism of formation of iron              sulfides and the role of CaSO.4 in mineralization under submarine               environments.
