***Sorry for cross-postings***
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the following session at
the 2017 Goldschmidt conference in Paris (August 13-18):
Session 21L: "Pushing the limits: Innovation in isotopic and
elemental methods"
Keynote speaker: Pr
Olivier Donard (IPREM/CNRS)
Trace elements and isotopes
have proved to be reliable tracers of geochemical processes,
sample age determination and authentication. The continuous
efforts of geochemists and instrument manufacturers have been
targeted over the last decade, to improve performance of sample
preparation, instrumentation and measurements methods to answer
increasingly ambitious analytical challenges. This has allowed
sample sizes to be reduced, enabling scientific investigation in
directions never before possible, using both dissolution and
in-situ sampling methodologies. Highlighting new developments in
inorganic analytical geochemistry across the instrumentation
platforms (ICPMS, TIMS, SIMS, XRF, EPMA,...) and including
methods for sample preparation and introduction optimization, as
well as strategies for standardization and data processing, this
session seeks contributions of new analytical innovations that
have opened the doors to greater scientific insight by producing
data and quality seemingly impossible only a few years ago.
The abstract submission is open until April
1, 2017 at the following link:

Emmanuel Ponzevera and Matthew Horstwood
