A Review of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for Analysis of Geological Materials

TLDR
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been developed into a versatile tool in various fields because of its distinct abilities, especially the simple, rapid, in situ detection of any material (solid, liquid, or gas) as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as an analytical technique has been developing into a versatile tool in various fields because of its distinct abilities, especially the simple, rapid, in situ detection of any material (solid, liquid, or gas). Following a brief description of LIBS instrumentation, the recent development in the field of geology is reviewed, including the qualitative and quantitative analysis of geological materials, as well as the LIBS application in some specific fields to the analysis of ores, extraterrestrial materials, speleothems, marine sediments, and fluid inclusion.

Palaeo-climate reconstruction from stable isotope variations in speleothems: a review

TL;DR: In this article, stable isotope studies in speleothems have shifted away from attempting to provide palaeo-temperature reconstructions to the attainable goal of providing precise estimates for the timing and duration of major O isotope-defined climatic events characterised by high signal to noise ratios (e.g. glacial/interglacial transitions, Dansgaard-Oeschger oscillations, the ‘8200-year’ event).
