We measure and understand the ocean to face the challenges ahead.

Oceanography

Water sampling with Niskin bottles and physico-chemical profiling with multiparameter probes and CTD systems.

Water sampling

At Geomytsa we carry out seawater sampling campaigns aimed at characterising its properties and monitoring the conditions of the environment.

We have specialised equipment that allows us to obtain samples at different depths, guaranteeing proper collection for subsequent analysis in our laboratory.

Equipment

  • Niskin bottles.
  • Van Dorn bottle.

Measurement of physico-chemical parameters in water and sediment

Knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of the marine environment is essential to understand its processes and assess its state.

At Geomytsa we have specialised instrumentation to measure and analyse parameters such as temperature, salinity, pressure, sound velocity and dissolved oxygen concentration, as well as other indicators of environmental interest, including heavy metals through the corresponding analyses.

Our equipment makes it possible to run characterisation and monitoring campaigns tailored to the needs of each project.

Equipment

  • Multiparameter probes.
  • CTD systems (conductivity, temperature and depth).
  • Secchi disk.
