Adjacent to the Lilly Fong Building is the Technology building, which
houses the department's Electron Microanalysis and Imaging Laboratory
(EMIL) (which houses a JEOL electron microprobe and scanning electron
microscope), paleoclimate/stable isotope laboratory, sedimentology
laboratory, departmental computer lab, graduate student offices and classrooms.
The department's Hydrology Research Group has a wide variety of equipment
that is available for hydrogeology field activities, including field
water chemistry analysis, well monitoring, groundwater sampling, measurement
of unsaturated zone properties, spring and streamflow measurements, and
surface and borehole geophysics. In addition, the Department of Geoscience
is a member of a research consortium along with Northern Arizona University,
University of Nevada, Reno and the U.S. Geological Survey at Flagstaff.
This arrangement allows UNLV students and faculty to use equipment at
these institutions.
Personal computers are available in the department and elsewhere on campus
for student use, and macrocomputer support for statistical analysis is
easily accessible through the University and Community College System
of Nevada (UCCSN) Computing Services. In addition, the department has
a number of workstations with statistical and modeling capabilities.
Other facilities available for graduate use, either in the department
or at the Desert Research Institute (DRI) include:
· atomic absorption spectrophotometer
· mineral separation facilities
· fluid inclusion heating and freezing stage
· stereo-zoom transfer scope
· electronics laboratory
