Development Of A Novel In-Situ Chemical Sampler For Aquatic Systems, Alec W. Johnson
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
There has been a long-standing need to study Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) within aquatic systems. DOC is an important water quality parameter that provides insights into ecological and carbon cycle processes in aquatic systems. DOC is not easily studied due to traditional, labor-intensive sampling methods. Often, optical (e.g. fluorescence) proxy estimations for DOC are used instead of directly sampling for DOC. Using either low frequency measurements or proxy estimations for DOC can lead to inadequate understanding of the natural processes that control DOC in aquatic systems.
This thesis outlines a in-situ sampler that will be capable of collecting, preserving, and …
