BLUESKY FOR TIME-RESOLVED STUDY OF METALS IN SOIL AFFECTED BY WILDFIRE

Feb. 29, 2024

Fast-Scan implementation in Bluesky allows for time-resolved temperature studies on soils containing arsenic, an important contaminant. Prof. Baalousha from the University of South Carolina Environmental Health Sciences Department along with BioXAS beamline staff work together to expand beamline capabilities, developments, and implementation of quick scans to track structural changes in soil using in situ XAS for understanding the impact of wildfire on metals speciation in soils.
