Workshop
23 May 2023
23. May 2023: a one-day workshop on sampling, analysis and speciation of trace metals (TM) and natural organic matter (NOM) in a highly stratified estuary (topics will be adapted to participants' research profiles):
Brief theoretical background
Profiling of phyisco-chemical parameters (CTD probe)
TM and NOM clean sampling in a highly stratified estuary sample (pre)treatment in the laboratory
TM analysis and speciation by voltammetric techniques: theory and practical work on automated system
Analysis and characterisation of dissolved organic matter (DOC, CDOM, FDOM, PARAFAC analysis)
Sediment sampling, slicing and pore water extraction under nitrogen atmosphere
Passive sampling and speciation using DGT
Modelling of TM speciation
Fee for the workshop is 30 EUR (coffee/lunch/drinks included)
Due to limited space in the Marine Station, the workshop is limited to ~20 participants. PhD students have an advantage.
