Chapter 2Approach I: Rapid and Precise Measurements of Natural Carbonate Rare Earth Elements in Femtogram Quantities by Solution Nebulization-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (SN-ICPMS)

Wu, Chung-Che

Pages: 5 –17

[In this chapter, we present a rapid and precise method for measuring femtogram quantity rare earth element (REE) levels in natural carbonate samples using inductively coupled plasma sector field mass spectrometry, which does not require chemical separation steps. A desolvation nebulization...

Chapter 3Application I: Pinatubo Volcanic Eruption Exacerbated an Abrupt Coral Mortality Event in 1991 Summer

Wu, Chung-Che

Pages: 19 –30

[Widespread coral bleaching and mortality associated with global warming has occurred frequently since the phenomenon was first documented in the early 1980s. One such episode occurred in 1991 over the tropical Pacific-Indian Ocean region, has been attributed to high summer sea surface...

Chapter 4Approach II: Highly-Sensitive Open-Cell Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) Approaches for the Quantification of Rare Earth Elements in Natural Carbonates at Parts-Per-Billion Levels

Wu, Chung-Che

Pages: 31 –47

[In this chapter, a high-sensitivity approach to quantify ultra-trace concentrations of rare earth elements (REEs) in speleothem carbonates using open-cell laser ablation-sector field-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (open-cell LA-SF-ICPMS) was developed. Specifically, open-cell LA in...

Chapter 5Application II: Stalagmite-Based Micro-domain Tephra Fingerprints in East Timor Between 88 to 78 ka BP

Wu, Chung-Che

Pages: 49 –55

[Highly-explosive volcanic eruptions have a strong impact on climate variations. Rare earth elements (REEs) preserved in stalagmite can be used as an ideal tephra proxy since REEs are depleted in limestone (ng/g to pg/g) but enriched in igneous rocks (>μg/g). In this chapter, REE/Ca ratios of a...

Chapter 6Summary and Perspectives

Wu, Chung-Che

Pages: 57 –58

[In this dissertation, we have addressed two state-of-the-art techniques to analyze ultra-trace rare earth elements (REEs) in natural carbonates using SN-ICPMS and LA-ICPMS. Here the summary and the perspectives are described as below]
