Handbook of Techniques for Aquatic Sediments Sampling

Informationen zum Autor Alena Mudroch, Scott D. MacKnight Klappentext This up-to-date revision of a bestseller sets the standard for planning and implementing cost-effective sediment sampling programs. Handbook of Techniques for Aquatic Sediments Sampling, Second Edition is the only comprehensive text on procedures for sampling bottom sediments, suspended sediments, and sediment pore water. Practical guidance is also provided for sample handling and preservation to ensure accurate physicochemical analysis. No other reference source provides more tools for obtaining representative samples for evaluating potential contaminant effects on aquatic environments. Zusammenfassung This book provides sufficient information on sampling techniques for suspended and bottom sediments and sediment pore water to those involved in characterization of aquatic sediments for different purposes, and in studies of sediment/water interaction processes.
