kaberett[for after all I've been using things very much like this to sort out my thoughts for about 12 years i.e. very nearly half my life at this point.]
Probably not actually of any interest to anyone else, though - just working out how many rounds of chemistry I actually need to do, and what the sets will look like...
Dupes
Marquesas (2)
UH53, TH14 (maybe one more each of FH01, TH13 too)
Anatahan (8)
AN2, AN3, AN8, AN10, AN12F, Anat9, 04Anat1, 04Anat4
G/H/T (10)
H69, G118, G132, G135, B167, T16, T60, T64, T122, T497
New dissolutions
Anatahan (2 x2)
AN1, 04Anat3
G/H/T (6 ?x2)
H28, H38, H64, G6, G117, T557
French reference materials (8 x2)
8 of the fuckers
IODP crap (3 ?x2)
[ugh needs crushing]
... which means 49-57 dissolutions needed. 10 dissolutions = one round of chemistry, i.e. 5-6 rounds of chemistry. Okay.
Round 1... is actually the FH01, FH11, FH18, MT04, MT08, TH13, TH18, UH81, UH89, UH93 batch I'll have digesting by tomorrow afternoon.
Round 2: Anatahan samples most urgent (Julie wants to get paper out), so AN1*, AN2, AN3, AN8, AN10, AN12F, 04Anat1, 04Anat3*, 04Anat4, Anat9.
Round 3: first pass on the RMs. AN1, 04Anat3, 8xRM
Round 4: H28, H38, H64, G6, G117, T557, 3xIODP, +1 IODP
Round 5: 8xRMs, +2 IODP
Future rounds: G/H/T dupes (16 samples total, awkward)
... plus I want to look into acquiring a proper metamorphic sequence plus potentially some mantle sulphides. (Note to self: get your head round seawater curves, and also around how useful mantle sulphides are likely to be.)
Urgh right okay next up: timings. Each round of chemistry takes approx 2 weeks but I can overlap a week of digestion with a week of the previous batch's chemistry, probably, and only go a little bit wrong.
Cleaning takes 1 day+overnight + 2 days + 2 days + 2 days i.e. a solid week. This is going to be really tight in terms of having enough clean Teflon unless I stick it in the wash the moment it's emptied [for those playing along at home, the reason this is an issue is that it means I will go through a lot of cleaning acid]. In fact timings below are predicated on washing in batches of 24 not 12, so I could probably get the schedule a bit tighter but NOPE.
I'm going to get round 1 into HF tomorrow to come out Friday. I can then do that chemistry in the week of the 7th-13th. (24 22mls, to go in wash 9th July, to come out of wash 16th July)
Round 2 weighing + digestion in the week of the 7th-13th (probably on the 8th). If 12x22mls can probably get away with; self, go down to lab and check if Angus has put the 24 22s he used in the wash (if not, DO THAT --> 24 22s come out of wash on the 8th). Round 2 chemistry in the week of the 14th-20th (24 22s in on probably-the-16th, out on the 23rd)
Round 3 weighing+digestion in the week of the 14th-20th (probably on the 17th, to come out on the 21st). Round 3 chemistry in the week of the 21st-27th (24 22s in on probably-the-24th, out on the 31st)
Round 4 weighing+digestion in the week of the 21st-27th (probably on the 24th). Round 4 chemistry in the week of the 28th-3rd (24 22s in on probably the 31st, out on the 7th)
Round 5 weighing+digestion in the week of the 28th-3rd (probably on the 1st). Round 5 chemistry in the week of the 4th-10th, to NOT CLASH WITH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS, i.e. probably actually do first columns on the 3rd if I can get away with it (... by then I will SO have earned two long weekends in a row).
... which means that the best time for instruments is probably like the 19th-24th of August (it's that or push it into September, probably, given that I want a long block and therefore want a weekend), whiiiiiiiiich I have pencilled in as maybe TOG visiting. Right, no, okay, have pinned him down as a yes for that w/e, ergo have written down that I want as much mass spec time as possible in the week of the 25th-31st. (There is a Thing I'd like to go to in Cambs on the 30th. We shall See How The Machine Is Running; it might well be well enough that I can fuck off out of town for a few hours.)
(To be clear, I don't think I'm actually physically capable of sticking to this schedule: it'll be very punishing. But it would also be nice to do it, sooo. Here's a plan, and life will happen at it, and Safety Is Paramount...)
