2012 SIMS Student workshop UCLA SIMS laboratory hosts a 5 day workshop on ion microprobe applications in Earth Sciences (Sep. 17-21). The workshop emphasizes microanalytical geochronology and stable isotope geochemistry with large radius magnetic sector SIMS. NSF's Instrumentation and Facilities program will sponsor travel, accommodation costs, and course materials for domestic participants.

The application deadline has now passed. We will review the applications and send out notifications within the next two weeks. Thank you for your interest in the workshop.

2011 SIMS Student workshop We thank all participants for a successful WORKSHOP (2011).

The UCLA SIMS (a CAMECA ims-1270) is supported by the NSF Instrumentation and Facilities Program. This page describes some of the capabilities of our facility and some of the users that have visited and used it.
