Ice-Cores by IC-MS
This project, enabled by the state-of-the-art analytical systems brought to the project by Thermo Fisher Scientific, applies the most advanced ion chromatographic (IC) technology available, hyphenated with the most advanced mass spectrometric detection, both triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (QQQ-MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) to explore the ultra-trace ionic content of ice-core samples for the discovery of new and previously un-mapped markers for climate and industrialisation.
