Abstract
A modified gravity corer (MGC) for more efficient and high-quality sediment core sampling is considered. Such design elements as the core catcher, section muff joints, the weight, and loop have been modified; the crown and locking plate have been removed. As a result of comparative testing in the South Chukchi Basin of the Chukchi Sea, it is shown that the MGC sampled 30% longer cores than the standard gravity corer (SGC). Judging from the distribution of such a redox-sensitive element as iron in the cores, when the MGС is used, a surface oxidized film remains in sediments. Thus, the disturbance of properties and textures/structures of sediments under sampling is the lowest.
期刊介绍:
Oceanology, founded in 1961, is the leading journal in all areas of the marine sciences. It publishes original papers in all fields of theoretical and experimental research in physical, chemical, biological, geological, and technical oceanology. The journal also offers reviews and information about conferences, symposia, cruises, and other events of interest to the oceanographic community.
