Have you guys thought of performing an ICP-MS analysis of atmospheric fog, dew, or cloud water droplets for their dissolved ions?

We hypothesized that the nucleating agent of fog and dew in arid regions leads to precipitation of the aqueous ions in solution of the dew, sourced from the dust. I have some data from atmospheric...

Does anyone know of any papers or studies done in the western United States on the trace-elemental composition of atmospheric aerosols?

I am in need of ICP-MS data on trace-element (and minor- if it exists) compositions of atmospheric aerosols over the wester United States. Preferably from Colorado, California, or New Mexico....

What are the principle techniques we need to understand in order to directly detect liquid water on the surface of an Earth sized explanatory body?

I understand that we use some sort of spectroscopy of the incident light coming from an explanatory system, but what are the principle techniques behind doing so? Are there any other methods used...

Ethane or methane driven plate tectonics?

Is it possible to get a planetary body with a frozen surface (like Titan) that uses ethane and or methane as the 'lubricant' in aiding plate tectonics? Would the frozen surface inhibit plate...
