Abstract

In this study, the optical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were investigated using UV/visible photometry and excitation emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy. Differences in quality and quantity of organic carbon were observed and highlighted discrimination of organic matter typologies between the four studied areas in the catchment of the Seine river.
