The Department has a number of specialist laboratories.
Elemental and Isotope Geochemistry Laboratory
The Elemental and Isotope geochemistry laboratory comprises two suites of clean laboratories, including a boron-free facility, six spectrometers and a laser, allowing for the preparation and analysis of geological samples for the determination of major and trace element abundances as well as a wide range of metal isotope compositions.
General Chemistry Laboratory
General Chemistry Laboratory is a shared space for activities not compatible or suitable for clean laboratories, requiring fume cupboards and space for general chemical work. Contact Dr Jason Day.
Godwin Laboratory for Palaeoclimate Research
A sedimentary laboratory specializing in marine core processing and non-destructive scanning for geochemical analysis. The stable isotope mass spectrometry lab houses key instruments for isotope research.
High Temperature Experimental Laboratory
The facilities of the High Temperature Laboratory are used for the synthesis of samples involving high-temperatures, high temperatures with controlled atmosphere, and high temperatures with simultaneous pressures up to 0.1 GPa. Contact Professor Michael Carpenter or Chris Parish.
