GEOS 5213 - Techniques of Analytical Geochemistry


3 (1-4)

Prerequisite(s): GEOS 4243 or the approval of the instructor.

An overview of modern analytical techniques for assessing earth materials, underscoring energy and mass spectrometric and diffraction methods used in bulk and micro-volume characterization. The course will utilize field tools for aqueous geochemistry, laser-ablation and electron beam microanalysis, and/or dissolution absorption spectrometry. It will cover principles of dissolution electrochemistry, energy and particle sources, X-ray, electron, and neutron diffraction, ion-, electron-, X-ray-, and laser-sample interactions, accelerator techniques including XANES, Rutherford back-scattering, cathodoluminescence and fluoresce detection and spectrometry, and particle mass discrimination. The course will examine and construct analyses based on datasets from prominent techniques.
