Cascadia Meteorite
Laboratory Fund
This fund helps support the lab directly, including
1) providing funds for meteorite classification (use of analytical
equipment and creation of thin sections)
2) supporting small student research projects (high school,
undergraduate, and graduate students)
3) supporting small but interesting research projects that are not
funded by government grant agencies. These often serve as pilot
projects for grant proposals
4) providing funds for minor day-to-day operating expenses and supplies
