International Meeting on :
The Isotopic Analysis of Minerals
15-16 September 2003
Hosted by the Department of Geology, Royal Holloway, University of London
Recent advances in mass spectrometry have resulted in a wide range of
isotope systems being developed for mineral analysis, often with a
variety of techniques able to perform the same isotopic measurements.
Themes
Analytical techniques
New instrumentation and future developments
Multiple isotope correlations in understanding
mineral formation, alteration and provenance
