precision Microanalysis of Stable Isotopes: What Is It Good For?
Technological developments in both laser sampling methods and in mass spectrometry, including continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry and plasma-source isotope ratio mass spectrometry, offer the opportunity to investigate new classes of problems in geochemistry through analysis of stable isotope ratios in geological materials at higher spatial resolution and enhanced analytical precision relative to traditional methods. This theme session will focus on examples of the kinds of information to be gained by these advances. The subjects to be addressed embrace fields as diverse as cosmochemistry and paleoecology.
