Microanalysis Session at AGU 2013: submissions welcome!
V027: Microanalysis in Geoscience: Advances and Challenges
Advances
in microanalytic technology and instrumentation have given
geoscientists new possibilities in examining earth and planetary
materials. Low kV electron probe microanalysis with field emission guns,
femto-second lasers, more versatile CL detectors, FIB, charge-contrast
imaging, high precision Ar/Ar mass spectrometry for geochronology, EBSD,
PIXE, and SIMS analysis of minerals, to name some. Challenges exist,
e.g. interpreting, quantifying, and evaluating the results. There is an
increasing need for development of well characterized reference
materials/standards. Sample preparation can be a stumbling block (e.g.
EBSD). We particularly invite abstracts which document unresolved
problems.
