The training will cover a variety of techniques, including water quality analysis, sediment characterization, identification of common marine contaminants and utilising analytical instruments, besides field trips for collection of sediments and water samples. Participants will get insights on analysing key parameters such as dissolved oxygen levels, nutrient concentrations and the presence of pollutants in water, and grain size and organic matter content in sediments.
