Abstract
Six geoscience and environmental departments have received awards through the Department of Energy's University Research Instrumentation Program. A total of $4.8 million has been given to 22 universities in 19 states. The money will go for scientific instruments for energy‐related research, helping alleviate a shortage of new equipment and upgrade outdated instruments.Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts received $217,450 for a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. Jean K. Whelan said she and coworkers at WHOI are interested in oil and gas generation and will use this more sensitive and accurate spectrometer to measure changes in the time and temperature history of sediments where oil forms. They will be able to look at structures in organic compounds and to identify biomarkers.
