Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities - Grant ID: LE0668525

Funded Activity Summary

A state-of-the-art trace element and speciation analysis facility for the Earth, Environmental and Chemical Sciences. Outcomes of the research utilising the proposed facility will feed directly into monitoring the health of the nations water systems (both ground and surface waters) and constraining processes responsible for the mobility and subsequent accumulation of toxic metals and metallic species in the environment. Pure research into trace element partitioning in geological materials will inform crust formation and mineral deposit models and aid in exploration of world-class ore bodies and the associated economic benefits of this activity. Applications in nanotechnology include laser cleaning and predictive laser ablation characterisation of potential application in manufacturing technology.
