A paleogeochemical investigation of ferromanganese oxyhydroxides from the Mendocino Ridge using laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA ICP-MS)

Creator:

Hubbard, Dale A.

Abstract:

Solid phases that form under the influence of changing environmental conditions often record such changes in their chemical composition. Quantification of these compositional variations is invaluable in reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes. Laser ablation, employed as a solid sample introduction system, offers fine spatial resolution (50 - 250 [mu]m) for spectroscopic analysis...
