The following articles provide excellent background information on many aspects of ICP-AES, including much information specific to the analysis of geological matrices. Copies of each of these articles are available in the Chemistry Laboratory on the drillship. Additionally, note that two of these articles come from a special issue of Chemical Geology that is devoted to ICP-AES and ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Other articles in this issue (not listed here) may also be of interest.
