DTM volcanologist Diana Roman at Kilauea Volcano, Hawai'i, August 26, 2012. "This was actually a day off when I was visiting the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory a few years ago. There was a nice day when we didn't have too much work, so we decided to hike out to the active lava flows and just poke at them for a while, because who wouldn't want to do that!" Roman said.

The new instrument, which arrived on January 15, 2018, will be used for the diverse range of high-precision isotope ratio measurements made by the geo/cosmochemistry group. The instrument it replaces will be outfitted with a newly developed ion source designed and built at DTM that uses a small cavity instead of a flat ribbon with the goal of achieving ionization efficiencies up to a factor of ten higher than the traditional ribbon sources. The goal with the cavity ion instrument is to push large (microgram) sample analysis into ppm or better isotope ratio precisions while the new instrument will be used for low-background analyses of small (nano- to picogram) sample sizes. The complimentary of the two instruments will allow the DTM group to push forward with the development of novel isotope measurement techniques capable of improving our understanding of the origin and evolution of Earth and the other rocky planets and planetesimals in our Solar System.
