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 School of Mines 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.
