dc.description.abstractSynchrotron techniques have increasingly been used to explore complex biogeochemical processes over the last two decades. In this reasonably short period of time the advances in optics, detector systems and ultimately beamline performance and capabilities have been staggering. Although a very large number of synchrotron methods are available and are employed in biogeochemistry, this perspective article will mainly explore recent developments and trajectories for 'hard' X-ray techniques. State-of-the-art beamlines, such as the nano-imaging and nanoanalysis (NINA) end-stations at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, will increasingly provide users with unprecedented analytical capabilities. For instance, the NINA end-stations will provide nanoscale resolution (10-20 nm for imaging and 50-100 nm for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)) together with high photon fluxes, a wide energy range and sophisticated sample environments. It is pertinent to note that the scientific case for the development of this project specifically mentions environmental and earth science as one of the three main drivers.
