!New Paper Alert! Matrix independent and interference free in situ boron isotope analysis by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS/MS pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a.... In it we use our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS to overcome the complexities of measuring boron isotopes by Laser Ablation in carbonates and other minerals. ⚒️🧪🌊🪸
Cross plots of d11B reference value vs. what we measure using Laser Ablation on our Neoma MC-ICPMS/MS.  All the data lie on the 1:1 line showing that we can get accurate d11B data using laser ablation on a range of matrices from carbonate to silicate when normalised to NIST 612 glass. Mass scans from m/z 9.7 to 11.1 for the Neoma MS/MS, base Neoma and Neptune when ablating carbonates.  The Neptune shows an elevated background due to scattering of Ca and Ar 4+ ions.  This is reduced in the base Neoma and entirely eliminated in the Neoma MS/MS.  We think this is because the formation of Ca4+ and Ar4+ is reduced in this design of MS and scattering of this multiply charged ions is reduced once Ar and Ca are cut out by the pre-filter. This shows the problem with laser ablation boron isotopes in carbonates on our Neptune MC-ICPMS.  It shows a mass scan from m/z 9.7 to m/z 11.1 with peaks at the boron masses 10B and 11B.  Rather than being a flat line - the baseline is elevated around boron 10 (and 11) due to scattering of 4+ Ar and Ca.

Here's my visual explanation of why we have not yet reached 1.5°C even though 2024 was likely warmer than 1.5°C. 2024 shows us how close we are, but the underlying warming is still under 1.5°C.

When Earth's temperature breaches +1.5/+2C depends on our emission choices and on the T during the pre-industrial era. Due to changes in the way we have measured ocean T through time (tinyurl.com/3trsfbrj) pre-industrial T is uncertain. Palaeoclimate offers a way to reduce this uncertainty (1/2) 🧪⚒️🌊
