The biogeochemical analysis lab allows to measure key and secondary parameters of carbonate chemistry. It is at the heart of research on the impact of ocean acidification on marine communities.
The technical platform allows the measurement of pH by spectrophotometry and the potentiometric determination of total alkalinity. These are the 2 key parameters of carbonate chemistry. Potentiometric dosing of other parameters of interest such as calcium, magnesium and dissolved oxygen is possible.

Sciences-Sur-Mer

As part of the Year of the Ocean, the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche is actively participating in two major events: the One Ocean Science Congress and l’UNOC’3.
Our unit’s staff will take part in scientific discussions and associated events, and will also contribute to the “Sciences-sur-Mer” Festival (June 7–13, Villefranche-sur-Mer), which aims to strengthen the link between science and society by offering opportunities for dialogue between stakeholders and inviting both the general public and school groups to take part.
