Grant Description

This award supports acquisition of a laser ablation time-of-flight inductively coupled mass spectrometer (LA-TOF-ICP-MS).

This instrumentation will enable development and application of cutting-edge geochemical methods to understand processes preserved in earth, planetary, and biological materials. The instrumentation enables mapping/imaging of chemical variations at small scales (
