Geology & Earth Science
Field geochemistry for cores and outcrops
Geology programs screen pathfinder elements on cores and soils to prioritize lab assay — ideal for field courses and graduate research.
Typical samples
- Drill cores & rock chips
- Soils & sediments
- Mineral separates
- Ore concentrates
Elements of interest
- As, Cu, Pb, Zn (pathfinders)
- Fe, Ti, Mn (major oxides)
Research use cases
- Exploration thesis projects
- Field camp screening
- Core logging workflows
