CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) -
State Representative Dale Mallory (D-Cincinnati) has announced the release of capital funds for the Biogeochemistry Research and
Teaching Project at the University of Cincinnati.
Approximately $86,000
will be funded to the research aimed at providing measurement capabilities of
the stable isotope ratios for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen in a wide
array of samples.
"I am always pleased to see cutting-edge initiatives
given funding at the University of Cincinnati. UC produces some of the
brightest scientists in the Biogeochemistry field," said Rep. Mallory. "This
funding allows UC the opportunity to utilize the latest technology to remain
competitive with the finest colleges in the United States."
Ultimately, this project will assist in funding the MRI Stable Isotope
Instrument project, which focuses on providing a powerful tool to track the
flow of isotope ratios of carbon and other elements through natural systems.
