Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Environmental Geosciences

Description:

Students are introduced to the analytical techniques of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and -atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The first half of the course covers the theory of ICP-MS and ICP-AES as well as specialized sample introduction techniques. Three weeks are spent in the lab learning machine tuning/setup techniques, ICP-MS and ICP-AES software, and sample preparation/calibration protocols. The last third of the course is spent conducting independent projects. Graduate students are strongly advised to make this project related to their research and senior undergraduates are encouraged to choose a project which will help in the workplace or in graduate school.
