Summary

Sample Analysis: Cation concentration data was obtained as a part of the beryllium isotope analyses. Samples collected from the Upper Geyser Basin were first treated in clean laboratory facilities at the University of New Hampshire following the methods laid out in the “Beryllium Isotope Data” portion of this data release. Following the hydrofluoric acid (HF) etches, and prior to Accelerated Mass Spectroscopy (AMS) analyses of 10Be, opal purity was assessed by measurement of major cation concentrations via inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) using a Perkin Elmer Optima 3300DV at the Analytical and Technical Services lab at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, New York. The cations [...]
