Advances in the chemical and isotopic characterisation of geological and environmental materials can often be ascribed to technological improvements in analytical hardware. Equally, the creation of novel methods of data acquisition and interpretation, including access to better reference materials, can also be crucial components enabling important breakthroughs. This biennial review highlights key advances in either instrumentation or data acquisition and treatment, which have appeared since January 2010. This review is based on the assessments by scientists prominent in each of the given analytical fields; it is not intended as an exhaustive summary, but rather provides insight from experts of the most significant advances and trends in their given field of expertise. In contrast to earlier reviews, this presentation has been formulated into a unified work, providing a single source covering a broad spectrum of geoanalytical techniques. Additionally, some themes that were not previously emphasised, in particular thermal ionisation mass spectrometry, accelerator-based methods and vibrational spectroscopy, are also presented in detail. © 2012 International Association of Geoanalysts.364337398Abouchami, W., Rehkämper, M., Galer, S.J.G., Horner, T.J., Xue, Z., Henderson, G.M., Wombacher, F., Stirling, C., In search of a common reference material for cadmium isotope studies (2010) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 74 (SUPPL. 1), pp. A2Abouchami, W., Galer, S.J.S., de Baar, H.J.W., Alderkamp, A.C., Middag, R., Laan, P., Feldmann, H., Andreae, M.O., Modulation of the Southern Ocean cadmium isotope signature by ocean circulation and primary productivity (2011) Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 305, pp. 83-91Abouchami, W., Galer, S.J.G., Horner, T.J., Rehkämper, M., Wombacher, F., Xue, Z., Lambelet, M., Holdship, P.F., A common reference material for cadmium isotope studies - NIST SRM 3108 (2012) Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, , doi: 10.1111/j.1751-908X.2012.00175.xd'Abzac, F.X., Seydoux-Guillaume, A.M., Chmeleff, J., Datas, L., Poitrasson, F., Study of near infra red femtosecond laser induced particles using transmission electron microscopy and low pressure impaction: Implications for laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis of natural monazite (2011) Spectrochimica Acta, Part B, 66, pp. 671-680d'Abzac, F.X., Seydoux-Guillaume, A.M., Chmeleff, J., Datas, L., Poitrasson, F., In situ characterization of infrared femtosecond laser ablation in geological samples.
