Abstract

This project will explore two main goals: i) the acquisition of quantitative data along of tree rings profiles and/or speleothems; ii) the acquisition of elemental bioimaging through the quantitative spatial elemental distribution in such samples employing the laser ablation system coupled to the ICP-MS.
