Oceanographic research helps in the planning, protection, and restoration of coastal wetlands. These landforms help protect us from storm surge flooding, control land erosion, improve water quality, and aid in the biodiversity of edible fish species. Tracking the movements of minerals and metals from extreme weather events, climate change effects, and from harmful anthropogenic activities is a critical component of this research. Hence, elemental analysis is needed. Battery operated portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an especially helpful tool for field research because it provides fast, non-destructive elemental analysis measurements wherever and whenever they are needed. It can measure nutrient minerals, heavy metals, and other elements of interest in soil, sediment, vegetation, water, and biological life forms.
