The STAiG Lab

St Andrews Isotope Geochemistry Labs | Andrea Burke, James Rae, Paul Savage, Dan Nita | making amazing measurements to better understand climate, planets, life

[The STAiG Lab @STAiGLab]

CC-MC-ICPMS offers awesome new capabilities, knocking out interferences that get in the way of many isotopes. The group (Andrea, Paul, James, Bob, Eva & Co) will use it to explore the formation of our solar system and Earth's climate history. Contact the PIs if you fancy joining!

St Andrews has a new toy - a NuPlasma Sapphire Collision Cell Multi-Collector Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Mass Spectrometer (CC-MC-ICPMS)! We're calling it the StApphire 🦌 1/3

Once out the wrappings it'll look like this ✨It'll join the @STAiGLab stable next to the Agilent 8900 QQQ, new RESOlution-SE laser, and Neptune Plus (we're hoping they'll all play nicely together!) 1/2

For @AlistairJarvis @UniversitiesUK to say academic staff on #USS are unaffordable & may force cuts to teaching and research *misses fundamental points*: Academic staff ARE the university! Academic staff ARE the teaching and research! #ucustrike @ucu @ucustandrews

Check out how the hottest August since modern records began looks in context https://t.co/ngIt0SiONQ #ScotClimateWeek #11recordmonthsinarow

Amazing #climatechange context since last ice age https://t.co/j7eHNwfgHW. Climate has changed before, but not like this #ScotClimateWeek

[GeoBus @GeoBus_StA]

Climate Change doesn't mean uniform warming. Depending on ocean circulation Scotland may cool, shown here for 2015 @NOAA #ScotClimateWeek

[GeoBus @GeoBus_StA]

375 members of @theNASciences well worth listening too on #climatechange https://t.co/uKryrVC8SY #ScotClimateWeek

.@TchuTchx @ScotGovClimate @Piers_Corbyn adjustments have minimal impact on recent global trend https://t.co/GA3ET2lx6w

#climatechange 101:
1) CO2 is greenhouse gas
2) we've added it to atmosphere
3) world is therefore getting warmer (& ice melts & seas rise)

Dinosaur die-off not a result of volcanoes, new study says https://t.co/Mc0ErwAZ03 via @physorg_com

Looking forward to a great Planetary Symposium on Habitable Solar Systems tomorrow at @univofstandrews - https://t.co/AvBnfQQ9SB

[Gordon Oz Osinski @drcrater]

Some things have changed after 17 yrs; some haven't. Great to see there's now a brewery in #StAndrews @standysbrewing

[The STAiG Lab @STAiGLab]

@drcrater your case for this today was neat! What do you think ionic strength (and aH2O) of those hydrothermal fluids? #habitability

[The STAiG Lab @STAiGLab]

First up @drcrater on impact cratering and a habitable solar system #FRESH

[The STAiG Lab @STAiGLab]

Excited about today's FRESH planetary symposium @univofstandrews thanks @samilovesrocks for the shout out!

[James Rae @mudwaterclimate]

Got to love school kids feedback on fossils outreach - next year real dino footprints and more snacks!
