    Glass laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis methods, precision, and accuracy data for tephra studies in Alaska

    Metadata Updated: January 31, 2025

    Glass laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis methods, precision, and accuracy data for tephra studies in Alaska, Techniques and Methods 1, reports the analytical conditions, standard reference material (SRM) results, and preferred post-processing methodologies for laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) measurements supporting tephra studies in Alaska between 2018 and 2024. We evaluate the long-term accuracy and precision of our methodologies by comparing our calculated SRM concentrations to the Geological and Environmental Reference Materials database (GeoReM) preferred concentration values for the following SRMs: BCR-2G, BHVO-2G, ATHO-G, NIST-612, GSD-1G, and GSE-1G. We show that our LA-ICP-MS methodologies produce accurate and consistent measurements across numerous analytical sessions, even when instrumentation changed. Overall, these results indicate that Alaska tephra matrix glass measurements, like SRM measurements, are accurate, precise, and comparable between analytical sessions. These data and report are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31471.
