Leia MaisAIR-G is currently improving new methods to obtain in situ isotope information of apatite. The mineral apatite is a key mineral for thermochronology studies via U/Th–He, fission-track and U-Pb dating.
Leia MaisIn addition to in-situ trace element compositions, AIR-G is now providing state of the art in situ U-Pb and Sr-Sr of carbonatic rocks for research and oil exploration. We are
Leia MaisSample Preparation The AIR group oversees a number of heavy machinery for crushing, milling and pulverizing rocks. Rock powders are then prepared for XRF pellets or for heavy mineral concentration.
