The GEEP Workshop: field sampling

Abstract

Field sampling for the GEEP Workshop was carried out in Frierfjord and Langesundfjord in southern Norway. Both these fjords are stratified with shallow sills. The Skiens river enters the Frierfjord and influences both stratification and pollution of the fjords. Chemical contamination of water and sediments are well documented; a decreasing contaminant g r a l e n t can be observed from the top of the Frierfjord towards Langesund Bay. Procedures for sampling material for the workshop are described.
