This project aims to establish a new facility for developing and applying novel geochronological and geo/biochemical techniques to a diverse range of rock and mineral samples. The new facility consists of a laser ablation micro-sampling unit coupled with the latest generation reaction-cell quadruple ICP mass spectrometer that will allow for rapid and cost-effective collection of elemental and isotopic data. Expected outcomes of the project are an enhanced understanding of Earth evolution over geological time, improved tracing of marine ecosystems, and increased knowledge of the formation and localisation of metal-rich ore bodies needed for modern society.

该项目旨在建立一个新的设施，用于开发和应用新的地质年代学和地球/生化技术，用于各种岩石和矿物样品。新设施包括一个激光烧蚀微采样装置和最新一代反应池四重电感耦合等离子体质谱仪，这将使快速和具有成本效益的元素和同位素数据收集成为可能。该项目的预期成果是加强对地球随地质时间的演变的了解，改进对海洋生态系统的追踪，以及增加现代社会所需的富金属矿体的形成和定位的知识。
