Compres

Our tools, including all beamlines used by Earth scientists and equipment used in our labs, need to be continually developed to improve the science that they support. The current projects and principal investigators in this category include:

A Standing Committee oversees the Infrastructure Development Project. It has the responsiility to assure that these projects serve the needs of the community. The committee will recommend whether a project should continue or not, and what changes are needed to better meet the needs of the community. It will also evaluate proposals by the community for new developmentprojects and make recommendations concerning funding.
