Goodbye, Triton!

February 18, 2022

Where once upon a time the Triton lived, at PCIGR.

Today, we parted with our Finnigan Triton TIMS, after almost 20 years of analyses (almost 600 wheels, or >12,000 analyses).

Our Triton has found a new home at TRIUMF, in the hands of Dr. Christopher Charles, an ion source physicist. Visit https://www.triumf.ca/.

The Blue Hour, with Dr. Dominique Weis

December 23, 2021

Dr. Weis in the nUBC facility at PCIGR.

How do geochemists study the chemical composition of earth? How do geochemists better our understanding of the earth’s interior, natural resources, climate change, human impacts on the environments, and hazards like earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes?

Listen to PCIGR Director Dr. Dominique Weis candidly discuss how she got into geology, who inspired her, and what kinds of geochemistry research is conducted at PCIGR.
