***************************************************************** From: John Valley <valley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ***************************************************************** Colleagues, Please consider contributing to a special session on Microanalytical Research and Instrumentation at the upcoming Goldschmidt meeting in Davos (June 21-26 2009). Abstracts are due by 22 Feb (see www.goldschmidt2009.org/index). Theme 18a Recent Developments in Microbeam and Microanalytical Research and Instrumentation Convenors: John Valley, Ingo Horn, Simone Kasemann, Detlev Günther Keynote: John Eiler (Caltech) New and improved techniques for in situ microanalysis of isotope ratios and trace elements allow correlation with other forms of imaging, have produced dramatic reductions in sample size, and are improved in accuracy and precision. These capabilities contribute to more fundamental understanding in a wide range of disciplines including: biomineralization, diagenesis, paleo-climate, geochronology, diffusion studies, and meteoritics. This session seeks contributions describing new analytical approaches and geochemical applications of in situ microanalysis including: ion microprobe, micro-XRF, and laser microprobe.
