Application of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in Geology

 * ... that Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to find how much water and carbon dioxide are in melt inclusions (pictured) in mineral grains?

 * Symbol question.svg New and long enough, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done. Hook checks out.  A couple of references are missing from the Sample characterization and Volatiles diagnosis sections.  Also, the orphan tag should be resolved before this goes to the main page.
 * Also, though it's beyond the scope of a DYK review, I have a question about the title. Are FTIR applications substantively different than other types of IR?  If not, as pretty much all IR does these days is FTIR, the title could potentially be shortened to "Geology applications of infrared spectroscopy".

 * Jumping in here (possibly where I am not wanted), the adjectival "Fourier transform" applies to "spectroscopy", not to "infrared". That is, it is a type of spectroscopy, not a type of infrared as implied by Antony-22's question, and yes, it is substantially different from other IR spectroscopy techniques according to the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy article.

 * I know that FT is a spectroscopy method and not a type of IR radiation; my point was that in most types of laboratory chemistry the applications are the same whether you use a FT or continuous-wave method. Graeme Bartlett's response below satisfies me that this is not the case in geology, however. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 19:13, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The article title should be in sentence case (and the subheadings). Compare with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. SpinningSpark 03:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I have renamed it to Geology applications of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Perhaps it should be "geological", but geology makes sense.  Looking at other kinds of infrared spectroscopy/imaging used in geology in the last 4 years, there is also remote sensing from satellites, and diffuse reflectance. (but there is also "Diffuse-Reflectance Fourier-Transform Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy"). Also I removed the orphan tag. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:09, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
