The programme aims to provide advanced knowledge on Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) instrumentation and applications in geosciences. Participants will attend lectures on SIMS theory, isotope mass spectrometry, standard calibration, data reduction and error propagation, as well as practical sessions on data reduction. Invited experts from leading institutions will present applications of SIMS in various research fields, and participants will have the opportunity for one-on-one meetings with the speakers. T
Four places are reserved for CIVIS students (Master’s or PhD level).
Selected participants will benefit from:
