Laser Ablation User Group Meeting and Workshop
Laser Ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a popular technique, not only in geoscience but also medical and environmental fields. This powerful technology can be used for trace element analysis, age dating, fluid inclusion analysis and element mapping.
In this user group and workshop we will hear from experts in the field about new case studies and applications for this technology as well as discuss best-practise and new advancements in the field.
Workshop convenor
The convenor of the Laser Ablation User Group Meeting and Workshop is Louise Schoneveld from CSIRO.
Date and time
The workshop will be held on Monday the 9th of February, starting at 9am.
Location
Ian Wark Theatre, Central Precinct, CSIRO Clayton Site, Research Way, Clayton. Go to CSIRO Central reception.
