SAMMS will undertake an array of field, laboratory and modelling studies, four of which will be completed during the first three-year phase. Research has been designed to comprehensively trace the transport and behaviour of dissolved organic matter and metals through terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in headwater catchments along a 200 km airshed transect between Giant Mine and What\u00ec, an area of concentrated mining activity.<\/p>\n
