  • Volatile mobility of trace metals in volcanic systems

    Creator:
    Loewen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Semi-volatile trace metals like Li, Cu, Mo, Sn, In, and Pb have the potential to track mobility of a volatile phase in volcanic systems. In this dissertation four studies are presented that either directly investigate or are motivated by observations of trace metal behavior in volcanic systems. A common tool...

  • Analysis of semi-volatile trace metals in basaltic glass by LA-ICP-MS

    Creator:
    Loewen, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Semi-volatile trace metals (e.g., Cd, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Mo) have been analyzed by using laser ablation ICP-MS in a number of silicate glasses (GSE-1G, GSD-1G, NIST 610, NIST 612, BCR-2G, BHVO-2G). Our work investigates and highlights sources of uncertainty in the analysis of semi-volatile metals using LA-ICP-MS. We identify...
