Abstract

Described are some applications of conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) in geosciences. It is shown how easily this technique can be applied in existing Mössbauer laboratories to investigate natural samples. Some examples demonstrate the kind of information CEMS can give on the weathering history or mechanical properties of samples. The possible application of CEMS on Mars is discussed.
