Multi-Media Sampling

The following sampling media were collected in the context of either one or several of the three phases of the Kola Project:
  • snow
  • rain water
  • stream water
  • stream sediments
  • organic stream sediments
  • lake water
  • ground water
  • moss
  • vegetation (lichen, crowberries)
  • topsoil
  • humus
  • podzol horizons
  • overbank sediments
  • Quaternary deposits
  • bedrock

    Information about field methods is given in the reports by Chekushin et al. (1993), Äyräs & Reimann (1995) and Reimann (1995), for instance, details of which can be found in the publication list. Each linked sampling medium is briefly described in terms of its rationale in the context of environmental investigations as well as its principal advantages and drawbacks. Some cool pictures are displayed too!
