EMODnet Chemistry WP 1: Data collection and metadata compilation in sea regions: current status Partner contribution SIO RAS Annual Meeting, June 15 -16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey Partner’s logo

Current status General overview of the partner contribution: Seawater Sediment Biota Number of CDIs at beginning: Number of CDIs at year 1: 54 Number of CDIs at year 2: 58 Spatial distribution: Historical stations Present time surveys Annual Meeting, June 15 -16 2015, Istanbul, Turkey Partner’s logo

SIO RAS surveys with cooperation with LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY SB SIO RAS Research activity of the Laboratory is targeted at studies of the biogeochemical regime and pollution of the NE Black Sea. Main directions of studies: Interannual and seasonal variability of nutrients: climatic trends and anthropogenic influence; Interactions of oxic and anoxic waters, redox layer dynamics; Ecological conditions of the coastal zone of the Sea, pollutants estimations in the water column and the bottom sediments. Effect biota on hydrochemical parameters of environment and vice versa.

Certificate of accreditation in system of accreditation of analytic labs

Intercalibration: national and international tests Lab of chemistry Sb SIO RAS many times took part in international program – Quality Assurance of information for Marine Environmental Monitoring (The Netherlands) - program of intercalibration and control quality of marine labs. (Test material groups: Nutrients in the sea water and Trace metals in the bottom sediments), in addition Russian programs (ICT) 1 stage of Russian program Interlaboratory comparative tests (IСT) in 2014

Intercalibration: national and international tests 2 stage Russian program Interlaboratory comparative tests (IСT) in 2014.
