Let’s learn about upscaling LA-ICP-MS pyrite results to whole rock geochemistry data using principal components analysis (PCA). On the way we’ll hear about the life and times of an early career geochemist and some of the ins and outs of being a geochemical consultant.

For this episode we read:
Using whole rock and in situ pyrite chemistry to evaluate authigenic and hydrothermal controls on trace element variability in a Zn mineralized Proterozoic subbasin (Magnall et al., 2022)
