The Ion Microprobe Laboratory at UCLA will offer a workshop for graduate and advanced undergraduate students on the application of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to the Earth and planetary sciences and related fields. The workshop will combine lectures on the fundamentals of SIMS, applications to various topics in the natural sciences, and practical demonstrations using our two large-radius SIMS, the CAMECA ims1270 and ims1290. Special emphasis topics will include geochronology, stable isotope geochemistry, trace element geochemistry, and cosmochemistry.
The workshop will be held at UCLA on February 24-27, 2025 (arrival Feb 23, departure Feb 27), and we will support lodging and airfare/gas (up to $400) for students at US-based institutions.
Thank you for your many applications for the UCLA SIMS Workshop 2025. Notification of application acceptance or rejection will be sent via email sometime between late December and early January.
