Benvenuti a Roma to everyone at TRACE 2026!
Garry Armstrong is enjoying the talks at TRACE 2026 the annual meeting of the Association for Tree-Ring Research, which brings together scientists from all corners of the tree-ring research world and is an exciting hub of collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Garry is showcasing our Laser Ablation IRMS (LAIRMS), the result of a long term collaboration with Terra Analitic and Teledyne Photon Machines, already used my a number of highly respected dendrochronologists including Sercon Customer Soumaya Belmecheri from the University of Arizona. Soumaya is giving a talk at 12.42pm on “Detecting tropical Cyclones in Baja California preserved in Tree-Ring Oxygen isotopes”.
LA-IRMS is a high-resolution, minimally destructive analytical technique combining a laser sampling system with a mass spectrometer to measure stable isotopes directly from solids. By removing the need for chemical processing, it enables fast analysis of solid samples, such as tree rings for paleoclimatology, geological materials, and forensic samples.

Find Garry at the Sercon table to explore how LAIRMS can help with tree ring research or, if you’re not at TRACE, email him at sales@sercongroup.com – he’d love to chat with anyone using Isotopes as a tool in tree ring research.
