GSECARS
A national user facility for frontier research in the earth sciences using synchrotron radiation at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory.
GSECARS provides earth scientists with access to the high-brilliance hard x-rays from this third-generation synchrotron light source. All principal synchrotron-based analytical techniques in demand by earth scientists are being brought to bear on earth science problems.
Users shipping to GSECARS, we are experiencing LONG delays in receiving international packages due to US Customs delays.
Please plan accordingly!
