LABORATORY PROCEDURES

Video Demonstrations

Six videos with voice and text commentary were produced and are available in RealPlayer© format (*.rm). These videos serve as a guide for laboratory technicians and students in the earth-science and oceanographic communities who would like to learn more about the methods described in this publication. These videos are not intended to be detailed presentations of the procedures, but to serve only as overviews to help familiarize users with the basic principles. Users are strongly encouraged to consult the original references for more detailed analytical descriptions.

Videos with close captioned text are available when viewing these publication from DVD-ROM. This requires two additional files (*.rt and *.smil) accompany the RealPlayer video (*.rm) and that those files be placed in the same directory.  To access the video with it's associated captioning, the user must access the video by selecting the *.smil file.  Unfortunately, due to computer operating system limitations, videos with close captioned text may not be available when viewing this publication over the Internet. To aide those users who may need to read the narrator's text, the dialogue is available separately with highlights of the video as visual aid in the video progress from the video page.
