Major and trace elemental geochemistry and geochronology
Located in the N. Balcescu building of the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, the recently opened (2023) petrochronology laboratory aims to carry out fundamental science projects in the fields of geochemistry and U-Pb geochronology but also provide services to external users from industry to academia. We are also setting up routines for archaeoscience, biogeochemical and other applications with U. Bucharest users in mind but open to any other innovative ideas from outside. We are open to collaboration with any interested party. A separate rock and mineral preparation faclity was built in support of the laboratory. The project was funded by Romanian MCID C1.2.PFE-CDI.2021-587/Contract no.41PFE/30.12.2021.
