Building, Coastal Plain Experiment

Station, Moore Highway, Trifton, GA

31794. Instrument: Ground

Conductivity Meter, Model EM38.

Manufacturer: Geonics Ltd., Canada.

Intended Use: The instrument will be

used for studies of subsurface

discontinuities in soil properties.

Application accepted by Commissioner

of Customs: May 15, 1996.

Docket Number: 96–055. Applicant:

The Pennsylvania State University,

Department of Geosciences, 503 Deike

Building, University Park, PA 16802.

Instrument: Mass Spectrometer, Model

MAT 252. Manufacturer: Finnigan

MAT, Germany. Intended Use: The

instrument will be used to analyze the

isotopic composition of fossil air

samples extracted from polar ice cores.

The data from these experiments will

provide the means of reconstructing the

composition of the past atmosphere over

the last 250,000 years. The objective of

the proposed work will be to better

understand the factors which influence

the biogeochemical cycling of carbon,

oxygen and nitrogen in the natural

environment. In addition, the

instrument will be used in several

geoscience courses for demonstrating

various techniques used during the

acquisition of stable isotope ratios of

various air samples. Application
