Join WEDA on Tuesday, December 20 at 1 PM EST for our next webinar, “Sediment Sampling 101-Understanding Equipment and Methods to Meet Your Project Needs“. Michael Mettler, a Principal Environmental Scientist at Normandeau Associates, will present the webinar.
General Webinar Overview:
Sediment samples are collected for chemical, physical, toxicological, and biological analysis. Collection techniques should be evaluated and chosen for each sampling site and each sampling purpose. Choosing the most appropriate sampling device and technique depends on the purpose of the sampling, the location of the project, and the characteristics of the sediment.
In this program, we will discuss equipment and methods to sample sediments. We will cover the strengths and weaknesses of the most common techniques and equipment to help you better choose which will best fulfill your project needs. We will also discuss what information you should provide to get the best quotes from your subcontractors.

Mr. Mettler has extensive experience as a group manager, project manager, and field supervisor, and brings over 25 years of experience in all types of environmental sampling with a specialty in sediment sampling. Having been involved with almost every aspect of sediment projects (from permitting and planning to execution and reporting) he has a tremendous wealth of knowledge to pull from.
Mr. Mettler has personally collected thousands of sediment samples from over 20 states using a wide range of sampling equipment from surface grabs, piston corers, and vibracore technology. He has worked on everything from small dock dredging projects to very large multi-year/multi-phase remediation projects on bodies of water ranging from swamps and ponds to large rivers, lakes, and oceans.
