AbstractThis award funds the operation of two ion microprobes at University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA). These machines make many types of geochemical measurements on solid samples, such as pieces of rock, meteorites, and other materials. These ion microprobes can investigate volumes of rock too small for most other methods, making them crucial for studying tiny geological features. These instruments are open to use by outside researchers. The facility will help users to study a wide range of topic
