Summary
The LUMEN project will install Scandinavia's first ATLEX laser with Fast Funnel and QuadLock at AU Geoscience to enhance elemental and isotopic mapping of microscopic materials. This upgrade contributes directly to establishing the bedrock composition role in supporting Greenland's icesheet, but is fully compatible with other internal, Danish external, and international projects.
