Organized by Yusuke Yokoyama (University of Tokyo, Japan) and Hirochika Sumino (University of Tokyo, Japan)
This session will explore the latest advancements in mass spectrometry techniques and their applications in geo- and space-sciences. We invite researchers to present their cutting-edge studies on Earth's history, volcano and earthquake monitoring, climate change, and planetary exploration. Topics will include the analysis of ultra-trace elements and isotopes, radiometric dating, and the investigation of extraterrestrial materials. Special emphasis will be placed on innovative instrumentation, data analysis methods, and interdisciplinary approaches to tackle pressing environmental issues.
