The Lab

The coastal hydrogeology lab is currently equipped with 12 RaDeCC counters for the measurements of dissolved and sediment-bound 223Ra, 224Ra, 227Ac and 228Th.

We use a SAGe well detector (Mirion) for gamma spectrometry.

We have two RAD7 radon (222Rn) detectors, a RAD8 detector, RAD-AQUA, RAD-H2O and big bottle accessories, and a Licor 7810 for monitoring CO2 and CH4.

We have a 96 well plate spectrophotometer for measurement of dissolved NO3, NH4, PO4, Si, Fe, and Mn.

The lab has multiple handheld multiparameter sondes, Solinst leveloggers (LTC), barologgers and water level meters for traditional hydrogeologic investigations, marine batteries, peristaltic pumps, drive-point and push-point piezometers, etc.
