Since 2002, the Plasma Lab has upheld a commitment to quality research, as evidenced by our many contributions to geochemical literature via rigorous analysis. This analytical capability is instrumental in unraveling the history of Earth&#8217;s formation, the evolution of its crust, and the nature of solid\/liquid materials. <strong>To learn more about our ongoing projects or literary contributions, click the links below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget_sow-image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-72f5ca75b696-338\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/research\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tassedet-300x300.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tassedet-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tassedet-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tassedet-375x375.png 375w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tassedet.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"Major Projects\" alt=\"Photo of a cross section of the Tassedet 004 meteorite\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div align=\"center\"><span style=\"text-transform:uppercase; font-size:21px; margin:0 0 20px; font-weight:bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/research\/\">Major Projects<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget_sow-image panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-72f5ca75b696-338\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/publications\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/gca-300x300.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/gca-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/gca-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/gca-375x375.png 375w, https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/gca.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" alt=\"Image of the cover of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta journal\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-gb338-69db7dc2a1778-1-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div align=\"center\"><span style=\"text-transform:uppercase; font-size:21px; margin:0 0 20px; font-weight:bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/plasmalab\/publications\/\">Publications<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research in the Plasma Mass spectrometry lab focusses on the analysis of trace elements and isotope ratios in terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks.
