The STAiG Lab

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!

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

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

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 earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/earthmat… #ScotClimateWeek #11recordmonthsinarow

Amazing #climatechange context since last ice age xkcd.com/1732/. Climate has changed before, but not like this #ScotClimateWeek

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

375 members of @theNASciences well worth listening too on #climatechange responsiblescientists.org #ScotClimateWeek

.@TchuTchx @ScotGovClimate @Piers_Corbyn adjustments have minimal impact on recent global trend judithcurry.com/2015/02/09/ber…

#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 phy.so/380872035 via @physorg_com

Looking forward to a great Planetary Symposium on Habitable Solar Systems tomorrow at @univofstandrews - earthsci.st-andrews.ac.uk/2016/04/28/fro…

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

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

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

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

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