Inspired by the recent Goldschmidt conference in Florence, we are pleased to announce a themed issue on “Geological applications of laser ablation” in JAAS. This themed issue is to cover a mixture of both fundamental advances and exciting new applications.
Submission deadline: 10th January 2014
Articles published in print Summer 2014
To celebrate this new themed issue, and the wonderful talks we saw in Florence, we’ve gathered together some of the articles published in JAAS from the areas of geochemistry and geology. If you work in this area, why not submit your next paper to JAAS. These papers will be free to read until October 15th.
