Voltage-depth profiles are frequently measured in marine sediments relative to a reference electrode (e.g., Ag/AgCl or calomel (Hg/HgCl)) in proximal seawater by stepwise insertion of a platinum electrode into sediment which equilibrates with the redox potential of operative oxidant(s) and reductant(s) at each sediment depth.
