EU LARGE SCALE GEOCHEMICAL FACILITY Supported by the European Commission Access to Research Infrastructures action of the IHP Programme Applications are invited for access to the EU Geochemical Facility at Bristol University. The Geochemical Facility contains a large number of modern analytical instruments that allow the user to carry out investigations across the earth, environmental and material sciences: Electron probe Microanalyser (EPMA) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) ICP-MS & ICP-AES Laser ablation ICP-MS XRF Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrometry XRD LECO Carbon/Sulphur Analyser Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer Auger Electron, Secondary Ion Mass and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectrometers The Facility also contains the following experimental apparatus: Piston-cylinder presses Cold-seal pressures vessels 1 ATM gas mixing furnaces Visits are usually expected to last between 1 week and 1 month. Priority will be given to research teams who have not previously used the infrastructure and who do not normally have access to such facilities. Selection of projects will be on the basis of scientific merit taking into account the interests of the Community. The Facility will pay ALL travel, subsistence and laboratory expenses. APPLICATION DEADLINES 15th December 2001 ** 15th January 2002 ** 15th March 2002 Access is restricted to research teams from institutions in EU countries (except UK) plus Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
