Thesis Summary: As present day expeditionary oceanography begins to shift to a longterm, ocean observatory mode, a greater need for in situ sensors is emerging. New chemical sensing techniques capable of analyzing deep ocean environments are needed. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) possesses many of the characteristics required for such in situ sensing and is capable of elemental detection of solids, liquids, and gases. Laboratory experimentation validates the LIBS technique for the detection of dissolved analytes in a simulated deep ocean environment.
