Abstract:

A practical introduction to analytical methods and instrumentation available to the environmental scientist. Topics include: (1) sampling of air, water, and sediment and in situ instrumentation (e.g., CTD and sensors); (2) extraction and separation techniques, such as ultracentrifugation and ultrafiltration, and electrophoresis; (3) thin layer, gas, and liquid chromatography; 4) mass spectrometry; and (5) UV-Vis, fluorescence, NMR, and ESR spectroscopy. Emphasis is given to recent analytical developments and to instrumentation available to Environmental Science Program students.
