Research in the Plasma Mass spectrometry lab focusses on the analysis of trace elements and isotope ratios in terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks. 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’s formation, the evolution of its crust, and the nature of solid\/liquid materials.
