The analytical lab in 341 houses a Thermo Scientific iCAP PRO XP ICP-OES for elemental analysis of waters, as well was sediment digestions and extractions. It also houses a Picarro G2131-i Gas Analyzer and associated front-ends capable of measuring carbon isotope values of carbon dioxide, carbonate, and DIC samples.
The Biogeochemical Oceanography Soil Science wet chemistry lab in McG 215 has a Sorvall Legend X1 centrifuge, drying ovens, a fume hood, an Orion expandable ion analyzer, EA 920 bench top pH meter, Milli-Q Integral Water Purification System (EMD Millipore), analytical balance, and general laboratory supplies (pipettes, glassware).
For sediment and rock core analysis, the facility houses a Bartington MS2 magnetic susceptibility meter, with a point and loop sensor.
Dr. Joseph Ortiz manages the Paleoclimate, Physical Properties and Environmental Remote Sensing lab (in rooms 140 and 334). This lab maintains instrumentation for analysis of water and sediment samples in the lab and the field for paleoclimate and remote sensing validation studies in aquatic and terrestrial environments.
Evaluation of preparatory / pre-professional education is executed by the Architecture Program Director.
