Modern-day research in climatology and archaeology requires thousands of samples for conclusive datasets, but with Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)  we have the unique advantage of taking fast, in- situ measurements at low costs. It also allows us to easily replicate data to achieve well-founded and statistically valid results. This is why it is key to further develop it as an alternative to other analyses that are more expensive and time-consuming to improve sample numbers and quality of research.
