The RI Space Grant is dedicated to promoting science, math, engineering, and technology at all levels, from K-12 to colleges and universities, from industry to the general public, with NASA space exploration and research.

The Environmental Geochemistry facility is equipped to analyze a broad range of samples, including sediments and soils samples, water, organic tissues, etc. These shared facilities are available to researchers from Brown University and abroad. The lab houses a variety of instruments, including GC-IRMS, GC-FID/MSD, HPLC-MS/DAD/FLD, EA-IRMS, Coulometer, GFAAs and ICP-OES.

DEEPS maintains three isotope ratio mass spectrometers associated with two core facilities for analyzing the isotopic composition of bulk organic matter, organic compounds, and inorganic carbonates. These include two Delta V plus instruments and one 253+ instrument.

The Mass Spectrometer Analytical Facility houses a Thermo Scientific Neptune Plus multi-collector ICP-MS, a Thermo Scientific X-series-2 ICP-MS, a Photon-Machines Analyte G2 laser ablation, and a trace-metal free clean lab built by Pico Trace. The mission of this facility is to help scientists with their cutting-edge research.

Spectroscopic data acquired in the laboratory provide the interpretive foundation upon which compositional information about unexplored or un-sampled planetary surfaces is derived from remotely obtained reflectance spectra.

The Cameca SX-100 electron microprobe is one of the primary and fundamental research instruments in the Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences.

CORD is a joint facility of labs at Brown and MIT designed to promote and support external visitor access to 12 sophisticated deformation apparatus. These machines have unique and complementary capabilities for studying a wide range of geological and geophysical processes. Having open access to this equipment allows both visiting scientists and those at Brown and MIT, to push the boundaries of experimental geophysics.
