RMP Webinar: Passive & Alternative Sampling Techniques
Date:
January 25, 2017 - 9:30am to 12:30pm
The overarching goal of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) is to answer the highest priority scientific questions faced by managers of Bay water quality. Technical experts on legacy and emerging contaminants have suggested investigating alternate monitoring techniques that may provide a representative evaluation of contaminants in the Bay. In particular, quantitative interpretations of passive sampling data were identified as potentially useful. With this half-day webinar, we hope to educate scientists and stakeholders on alternate monitoring techniques to inform future study design.
