GranulomEtric pAssive Capture of dissOlved matter & Sediment (GEACOS)

<p>Suspended sediment has been identified as a vector for nutrient and contaminant transport. In order to collect representative samples of catchment particulate and dissolved fluxes, we developped low-cost time-integrated samplers. Size is quite simililar to the classical &quot;Phllips sampler&quot; but the GEACOS have been designed to operated a direct granulometric sorting of the suspended sediments on the field and also capture the dissolved chemical elements using passive detectors such as DGTs. Both particulate and dissolved phases are then collected following the same geometry within the river system.</p>
