I’m Vitor Barrote (sounds like: Vee · tor | Ba · rroo · ti), I’m the lab manager for the EleMap LA-ICP-MS lab, and I take care of one Laser and two Quadrupole ICPMS. Our lab can handle in-situ elemental analyses of a bunch of geological solid materials including the accessory minerals I use on my own research. In my research I study isotopic and elemental geochemistry of interesting minerals to better understand ore forming processes and exploration for important metals. Along the way I try to understand better, fundamental processes in geochemistry and geosciences.
