Course Objective

The aim of course is designed specifically for the instruction and use of analysts undertaking established or new chemical oceanographic analyses under operational conditions. Basic workings instructions are given in the fullest detail brief notes on the chemistry involved are included but only where this knowledge can contribute materially to the efficiency of the operator. All methods have had although trial under land or ship board laboratory conditions and a number of these methods constitutes a completely new application of analytical techniques to marine chemistry.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   will be able to identify and describe the analytical principles and procedures of metals and organic compounds in marine environment of natural and anthropogenic activities which are responsible for marine pollution
2   will be able to describe the sampling design and sampling preparation techniques for particulate and soluble fractions
3   will be able to review the theory and application of instrumental methods of chemical analysis.
4   will be able to give the students further explanations on radioactive compounds
