ice core analysis (look for volcanic ash)
coffee sample analysis


Current Projects

1.) Silver coin project.

Preliminary data exist (three coins irradiated on April 23rd, counted on April 24th, but pretty much the only thing I can see are silver and gold lines), but more analysis is needed. Also, attached is a paper on NAA on silver coins. Eric Ivie is the contact for Deep Blue Marine.

2.) IGEM PAA on gold-bearing ores project.

Proposal is submitted and pending. We should hear about it next week. Maybe Jon Stoner can give more info on it. Student: Sultan

3.)Fossils project.

Fossils obtained from SDSM&T were irradiated and counted in February. Spectra are analyzed, and there is a match between a fossil and a corresponding matrix. Report is written. No proposal, however I think we should proceed with it and contact Darrin Cognac, who provided samples. Doug is interested in this too.

Potential Proposals

1.) Silver Coin Proposal is written, almost finished, but no budget yet.

2.) A proposal to analyze fossils provided by Darrin Cognac at S. Dakota School of Mines and Technology(http://www.sdsmt.edu). Preliminary results have shown promise (see above) in using PAA to associate a fossil with a matrix. Doug is interested in this too.

3.)http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=6186

"2) Development of New Instrumentation, Analytical Techniques or Software that will extend current research and research training capabilities in the Earth sciences. The maximum request is $1,000,000;"
