The Biogeochemistry Core Facility was established on our campus by:

A)     Consolidating existing equipment on campus for collaborative use as a central facility;

 B)     Pursuing acquisition of new equipment from supplemental funds;

 C)    Pursuing and accepting donations of laboratory equipment from private environmental firms.

 The objectives of the Biogeochemistry Core Facility are to:

 1)      Enhance the technical facilities to allow SDSM&T faculty in the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences, Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Geology and Geological Engineering, and Chemistry, to perform cutting-edge ecological and environmental research;

2)      Provide opportunities to train and educate undergraduates and graduate students in terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemistry, ecology, and environmental sciences;

 3)      Further strengthen research and education partnership between SDSM&T, Black Hills State University, Oglala Lakota College, and Sinte Gleska University by serving as a regional resource for collaborative research endeavors.
