无机地球化学研究的进展通常依赖于新的技术开发。电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)技术可以进行高精度的同位素比值分析,使以前很难测定的元素的分析成为可能。牛津大学地球科学系已经越来越多地开展多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱分析,着重于解决从宇宙至环境化学领域的诸多问题。目前主要研究Cr同位素,确定Cr对Jurassic-Triassic边界可能产生的影响事件,以及采用铀系列同位素进行海洋学研究。
Progress in inorganic geochemistry has often depended on new technological developments. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology enables high-precision isotope ratio analysis to enable the analysis of elements that were previously difficult to measure. The Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University has increasingly been conducting multi-receiver inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis with a focus on solving many problems ranging from the universe to environmental chemistry. At present, Cr isotopes are mainly studied to determine the possible impact of Cr on the Jurassic-Triassic boundary and oceanographic studies using uranium series isotopes.
