This invention relates to a novel geo-electrochemical sampling electrode and process. More specifically, this invention pertains to a novel ion collection electrode, and process, which can be used in the remote sampling of ions contained in ground water. This invention consists of a geo-electrochemical sampling apparatus comprising a hollow electrically non-conductive casing; an opening in the casing for enabling ions to be transported from the exterior of the casing to the interior of the casing, a cathode positioned in the interior of the casing, and electrically connected to the exterior of the casing; and, ion exchange resin contained in the interior of the casing between the cathode and the opening.
