Environment: soil and water quality

You are
a design office
an environmental industry
a public or private researcher

You hope
 to test a product on your soil and organic matters qualities
to estimate the quality of superficial water and/or groundwater

GISMO lead you along your project on soil and/or water quality. For this, we offer you isotopic technics and elemental and geochemical measurements, in order to:

• • lessen the greenhouse effect gases production (CO₂, N₂O, CH₄),

by improving the comprehension of microbial processes

• estimate the effect of add-ons on your soils dynamic,

by following several parameters measured on the different kinds of organic matters

• estimate the quality of superficial and ground waters,

by performing chemical analyses on your water

• determinate the mineralogical quality of your soil,

by identifying and quantifying the clay (< 2 μm) and mineral phases

Plant analyses
C and N content, δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N isotopic composition (EA-IRMS)

Water analyses
C and O content, δ¹⁸O isotopic composition (EA-IRMS)
Major elements  analyses (ion chromatography)
Composition in total organic carbon (TOC)

Gas analyses
Measures in gas concentrations (GC)
Isotopic composition of gases (TG-IRMS)

Soil analyses
C and N content, δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N isotopic composition (EA-IRMS)
Identification of organic compounds (GC-C-IRMS)
Identification of clay and mineral phases (DRX)
