| Course objective : | "Sampling" part Introducing the main principles of environmental sampling : choice of localization, time, duration and frequency of measurement, sampling error and sample collection in the field. | ||||||||

| Prerequisites : | "Sampling" part: Elementary knowledge of environmental sciences | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | "Sampling" part: Field exercice | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Organization : | "Sampling" part: It is the first part of a lecture including both an introduction to sampling techniques and the contribution of geostatistics for data processing. This first part concerns the sampling and must be given before the part related to data processing. | ||||||||
