Biogeochemistry Lab
The Biogeochemistry Laboratory in the Water, Earth, and Environmental Sciences Department at USU analyzes carbon in a variety of ecosystems and in different forms and materials (e.g. soil, water, air).
ICP-MS Lab
The Agilent 8900 Triple-Quadrupole ICP-MS is an instrument that can analyze elemental abundances and ratios, and some isotope systems at extremely high precision and low detection limits.
Luminescence Lab
Located at the USU Innovation Campus, the Luminescence Lab is equipped with two automated TL/OSL dating systems (Risø TL/OSL-DA-20A/B), including a laser-driven single-grain attachment that allows for the dating of individual sand grains.
Mineral Microscopy and Spectroscopy (Raman) Lab (M2SL)
The M2SL is designed for mineral and rock textural and geochemical characterization, as well as preparation for other complementary analytical techniques.
Rock Deformation and Earthquake Mechanics Lab
The USU Rock Deformation and Earthquake Mechanics laboratory is equipped with apparatuses and data acquisition instrumentation to perform a broad range of brittle deformation experiments on rock and sediment samples.
Stable Isotope Lab
The USU Water, Earth, and Environmental Sciences Stable Isotope Laboratory is equipped for analyses of the “light stable isotopes” in a wide variety of materials.
