A new freeze-vehicle benthic lander has been developed, capable of measuring benthic fluxes of nutrients, alkalinity, oxygen and radon. Important features of the device are the capability to collect sequential samples of 20 ml or more from three flux chambers, the case of deployment, and the low cost. It has been tested in two basins of the California Borderland. Radon fluxes measured in these basins are consistent with those obtained by integrating the standing crop in the water column. Measurements of oxygen and nitrate uptake by these sediments are not strongly dependent on the rate of stirring within the lander flux chambers.
