A chemist ⚗️ participating in geo-field-work is really appreciating if somebody else is doing the digging 👷 to have a nice outcrop. 🤣 #AMS #BurialDating #CosmogenicNuclides

🚀We believe in improvement! This semester we gave the VERA poster in our seminar [email protected] an upgrade from the 2021 version. While "scraping off the old wallpaper," we found more outdated versions reminding us how far we’ve come. Or as the AI says: "Dive in & experience the new VERA today!"🤣

Rußbach am Pass Gschütt wird aktuell wieder zum Treffpunkt der internationalen Wissenschaftswelt: Zum 21. Mal findet dort die „Rußbach Schule für Nukleare Astrophysik“ statt. Während die Expertinnen und Experten über die Entstehung des Universums brüten, profitiert der Ort von internationale...

🚀 Exciting start at the 36th Mass Spectrometry Forum at @univie.ac.at. Opening talks have been top-tier, diving into the latest innovations in the field. 🧪🔬 Don't miss the Poster Session at 6:00 PM—the perfect time to network and discuss research. Check out Poster No. 23! 😇 CU there! #MSForum2026

Come and work with great isotopes at the Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA) 🎡. Apply now to one of the six PhD positions. Application Deadline: 27 March 2026, 12:00 noon. ⏳

How fast is the German landscape changing?⛰️ Using Be-10 data from VERA @univie.ac.at, Lianqing Zhang, Roland Zech et al. found long-term denudation in the Roda Catchment (Central Germany) is higher than modern short-term erosion, despite human impact 😱. Read more here 📖: doi.org/10.5194/egqs...

Same (but important!) procedure as every year: Have a look at our great female researchers at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna @univie.ac.at ‼️👇

PhD position using C-14 AMS. Highly recommended! We love to measure C-14 in Vienna at VERA. isotopenphysik.univie.ac.at/veracore/

Don't miss the #Goldschmidt 2026 abstract submission deadline: 26 February 👇

Instead of an LPSC abstract, a few of us posted our concerns about the censorship of the conference at blog.planetary-research.org/2026/01/06/a..., with some suggestions for other conferences you can attend to discuss planetary science. (Definitely shorter than 2 pages 10 pt font, too!)

Really? 🤔 Six months gone and we are asking again for VERAcore Seed Grant proposals for free #AMS @univie.ac.at ? Here, we go: Happy to announce the 4th call‼️ It's just the same as before, but we'll set up a new email for you. Please send applications now to [email protected]. 🫵

Please sse doi.org/10.1038/s415... for repost...

Amazing: Our Nature Astronomy paper has an Altmetric Score of 499. Mentioned by 65 news outlets, 6 blogs, 32 X users, 1 Wikipedia page & 🥳 24 Bluesky users. Can anybody help to get it to 500? 😇 It's a nice paper "Catastrophic disruption of asteroid 2023 CX1 and implications for planetary defence"🤩

🤩These are my favourite mails: "Your article is now published online!" Another great study led by Addi Bischoff from @uni-muenster.de including cosmogenic radionuclide data from our VERA AMS facility @univie.ac.at. It is still raining stones in Lower Austria. This time we investigated "Haag". 🌠

On my way to the ReMade@ARI Meeting in Leuven. I love the trains in Belgium: On-time and friendly screens. This is what I need after a long but ecofriendly nighttrain ride from Vienna.

Third and final stop "Tag des Denkmals": WUK (former locomotive production, today culture centre). Inside and outside true contrast!

Second Stop "Tag des Denkmals": Palais Niederösterreich" (Palace Lower Austria). More than 500 years ago bought from the Liechtenstein Brothers.

First stop "Tag des Denkmals" (heritage day) in Vienna: #Oktoneum. Pretty young building (<40 years, Postmoderne) for Vienna, but I like it.

The good things when working in Vienna: In autumn the theaters open again. Tonight #Volksoper Wien plays "Lass uns die Welt vergessen"...2nd-row seats...😀

happy, too 🤩...there are already some nice German articles about it...https://nature.altmetric.com/details/181458008/news

PhD Studentship alert! I'm looking for a motivated student to work here in Vienna @vdsee-univie.bsky.social on my ERC grant "DISPERSE". It's a fulltime scholarship (working in 14C and #archsci in Palaeolithic archaeology in Eurasia. Details in the link below! jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Universi...

back to meteorite🌠chemistry after precipitation of Al & Be as hydroxides (by NH3aq), we see the wonderful nickel ammine complex [Ni(NH3)6]2+ (blank without Ni easy to spot😊) most iron meteorites have ~7% Ni, but one of this has ~35% Ni (which one😇?) different Ni concentr.👉different shades of blue🥰

Today, no meteorite🌠chemistry in the VERA lab, but destroying organics and fluorides with HClO4 (after having dissolved >50 g quartz in >200 ml HF). This is my favourite step in terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide chemistry👩‍🔬, as it means we survived again the nasty HF. 🤩 Do you see the white smoke?

Reminder: We don't need any chemistry for stony meteorites to measure Al-26 & Ca-41 @univie.ac.at - or to not measure them 😜 to identify meteor wrongs (=terrestrial rocks). Our 1st study led by Lidia Pittarello from @nhmwien.bsky.social just went online as a report in MAPS. doi.org/10.1111/maps... 🥳

Two cation exchanges (much small(er) columns 🤩) and some precipitations later, we have oxides of Al, Be, Mn, and Ni for #AMS at VERA, @univie.ac.at. And we also measure fluorides of Ca (for Ca-41) and AgCl (for Cl-36) here. I love (iron) meteorites ! 🥰

I really love meteorites 🤩. For stony meteorites, we analyse cosmogenic radionuclides by #AMS without any chemical preparation. But for iron meteorites, we need to dissolve them 🧪 & separate Be-10, Al-26, Cl-36, Ca-41, Mn-53, Ni-59,... from the matrix & from each other (by colourful🌈ion exchange).🥰

Last day of a great #Goldschmidt2025 conference. Last very tasty Coffee "Break" dessert. 😋 Last oral presentations of colleagues until late afternoon. Please, join these interesting talks if you are still in Prague! CU there or next year at #Goldschmidt2026 at Montreal. 🇨🇦

20 things that women should stop wearing after the age of 30. 1-20: The weight of other people's expectations and judgments.

Prague seems to be ready for #Goldschmidt2025 participants.

😭 Not the best start for my travel to #Goldschmidt2025 ...the coffee Maschine in the #Regiojet Lounge at the Vienna train station is out of service. This is maybe harder for me than the 18 min delay already seen at the info screen. 😇 CU at Prague for a great conference!

Just in case, you are passing this summer Hof in Bavaria, Germany...have a look at the meteorite exhibition ...you might learn why we have chemically treated and analyzed the cosmogenic radionuclides Cl-36 and Ca-41 in "Reitzenstein" by #AMS at VERA @univie.ac.at www.lfu.bayern.de/veranstaltun...

Good Science xkcd.com/3101/

Btw...meteorite Haag arrived yesterday in Vienna @nhmwien.bsky.social. Nice (German) video on.orf.at/video/142795...

This time I made it to Linz in Upper Austria. No city limit signs, but one of the two meteorites of Upper Austria on display. Do you know which one? 😇

Besuch uns und unsere Isotope am Donnerstag, 5. Juni, im Hauptgebäude der @univie.ac.at zum Circle U. Climate Day 2025 urbanlab.univie.ac.at/circle-u-cli.... Unser Thema beim Marktplatz der Initiativen: "Kleine Teilchen, große Fragen: Den Klimawandel mit dem Wiener Teilchenbeschleuniger verstehen."💡

Final version online...Link works for 50 days only?...https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169555X25002466?dgcid=coauthor Elsevier Geomorphology not on Bluesky. 🤔

Rubber duck and me forgot to bring sampling equipment to amphitheatre in Greece. 🙈 Maybe a good idea? 😇

Sampling done...finishing with touristic view from highest mountain in area...where are we (in Greece)? 🤔

📣 Closing soon! The next EAG Early Career Science Ambassador funding deadline: 1 June. Funding for young scientists based in Europe to attend a conference outside Europe up to 50% of expenses covered up to a maximum of €1500. More info & to apply: buff.ly/4kaRVWC

📣 Call for nominations for the H.C. Urey Award - bestowed by the EAG for outstanding contributions advancing geochemistry over a career. There is a new nomination form for 2026 &/ a self-nomination process. More info: buff.ly/whIHCeD Self-nomination deadline: 30 June Nomination deadline: 30 Oct

Yippieh! 2nd try for field-work in Greece starts today🥳 (1st was cancelled due to general strike). With @romangarba.bsky.social and Stephanie Neuhuber. Let's see if we can find some nice samples for cosmogenic nuclide analysis by #AMS for VERA @univie.ac.at

But I agree...same findings at ASTER (even in 2008 😇)

At Vienna..."VERA inside outside"

Last action as part of our ReMade@ARI Workshop: Visiting the MILEA #AMS system at Rez. Excellent!
