This award provides one-half the funds required to purchase                a mass spectrometer. The instrument will be installed, operated                 and maintained in the Department of Geological Sciences at the                  University of Rochester. The University will provide the                        remaining funds required for the purchase of the mass                           spectrometer.                                                                        The new equipment is needed for research projects in the                   Department of Geological Sciences and will be  capable of                       measuring the isotopic compositions of the rare gases He, Ne, Ar,               Kr and Xe in geological samples. As a class of geologic tracers,                the rare gases are able to provide constraints on past processes                due to their lack of chemical reactivity and highly mobile                      behavior. The isotopic composition of the rare gases will be                    applied to studies of the evolution of mid-ocean ridges and                     oceanic volcanic islands, the origin of methane in natural gases                and the rate of groundwater flow in shallow aquifers.
