This document discusses environmental sampling, focusing on water sampling. It covers three main areas of environmental sampling: water sampling, air sampling, and soil sampling. For water sampling, it is important to understand the water cycle, soil permeability and porosity, and basic water characteristics. The document then discusses the hydrologic cycle, soil permeability, water tables, groundwater vs. surface water, considerations before sampling like safety plans and permits, on-site observations and tests, sampling locations and flow calculations, and detention time.
The report summarizes sediment sampling results from three zones of the Peace Lagoon in Eilat, Israel. Sediment cores were taken and analyzed for particle size distribution, organic matter content, and sulfate/sulfide concentration. In Zone A, the black layer had larger particles than the underlying layer. Zone B contained three distinct layers. Organic matter was highest in the black layers across zones. Sulfate concentrations varied between layers and locations. Groundwater was also monitored from two wells near the lagoon.
This document provides guidance on soil and water sampling. It outlines factors to consider when sampling, such as sampling procedure, sample size, and participation rates. It discusses the importance of representative, appropriately sized, unbiased, and random samples. Types of sampling techniques include probability and non-probability. Sources of error in sampling include sampling error, coverage error, and non-response. The document also provides details on tools and methods for collecting soil and water samples, including information to record about the sampling location and handling procedures to avoid contaminating water samples.
The document discusses offshore geotechnical investigations. The general objectives are to establish seabed soil characteristics and properties through drilling, sampling, and in situ testing. Applications include analyses for jackups, platforms, pipelines, dredging, and wind farms. Investigations consider structure type and loads, foundation performance, geohazards, and environmental factors. A variety of vessels and equipment are used depending on water depth, including jackups, barges, drill ships, and dynamic positioned vessels equipped with coring, drilling, and testing tools.
This document discusses various methods for sampling water. It begins by explaining that sampling must account for environmental heterogeneity and can involve static or dynamic systems. It then outlines five main sampling methods: systematic, random, judgmental, stratified, and haphazard. For each method, it provides an example of how it would be implemented for water sampling. It also discusses types of samples, equipment for surface and groundwater sampling, and considerations for continuous monitoring. The key points are that sampling must address spatial and temporal variability and that different methods have advantages for different sampling needs and environments.
Water quality can be assessed through various physical, chemical, and biological indicators. It depends on factors like geology, ecosystem, and human activities. Standards are set based on intended uses like drinking, industrial, or environmental. Water is sampled and tested using on-site or laboratory methods to monitor these indicators. Maintaining adequate water quality is important for public health and ecosystem protection.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
