Objectives and Support Services

Objectives

A major part of the CAMPOS research projects relies on field investigations, sampling campaigns, and laboratory analyses. The service project Z1 supports therefore all field- and lab-oriented CAMPOS projects by

  • guidance in site investigations and field sampling campaigns
  • analytical measurements of tracers and water chemical parameters
  • non-target screening approaches for a wide range of compounds.

Supporting Services

Methods for site characterization and monitoring
  • Geophysical site investigation
  • Direct push methods for
    o    core drilling and groundwater sampling
    o    borehole logging of electrical conductivity, natural gamma radiation, hydraulic conductivity, soil color
    o    monitoring well installations
  • Sonic drilling for
    o    core drilling and soil sampling
    o    monitoring well installations
  • Hydrogeological testing and monitoring including
    o    regular and event-based groundwater and surface-water sampling
    o    aquifer / well testing (pumping tests, slug tests)
Target analysis and Non-target screening
  • Sampling and sample preparation
  • Organic trace analysis by LC-MS
  • Non-target screening by LC-accurate mass screening
