Abstract

This contribution provides a short presentation of the applications of the most common accelerator-based analytical techniques to the earth sciences. These techniques offer high elemental selectivity and sensitivity as well as the possibility to determine the lateral and depth distribution of the elements under investigation in near-surface layers of geological materials and provide a powerful tool of investigation of geological, mineralogical, geochemical and cosmochemical processes.
