The box corer is a marine geological sampling tool for soft sediments in lakes or oceans. It is deployed from a research vessel with a wire and suitable for any water depth.

General Information This is one of the simplest and most commonly used sediment corers. The stainless steel sampling box can contain a surface sediment block as large as 50cm X 50cm X …

May 13, 2020 · USGS science crew works to free the muddy sediment from a GOMEX box corer while on PCMSC's vessel Jewell on Grizzly Bay in the San Francisco Bay area. PCMSC uses …

The Box Corers are simple and reliable corers for sampling an areas of 0.05m2 (Mini), 0.1m2 (Standard), 0.25m2 (Mega) or 0.5m2 (Giant) of sediment with minimal disturbance and sample …

A box corer is a marine geological tool that recovers undisturbed soft surface sediments. It is designed for minimum disturbance of the sediment surface by bow wave effects. Traditionally, …

A box corer samples a comparable large area of the sediment surface (50 x 50 cm) with minimal disturbance and collects a large block of sediment up to 60 cm below the sea floor. This gear …

A box corer is a benthic sampling device designed to take a vertically undisturbed ‘core’ sample from the top of the seafloor, typically to a maximum depth of 50cm (Hopkins 2007).

The SMBA (Scottish Marine Biological Association) box corer is designed to take an undisturbed sediment sample of 600mm square, up to a maximum depth of around 450mm. The corer …

The Box Corers are simple and reliable corers for sampling an area of 0.5m2 (Giant Box Corer), 0.25m2 (Mega Box Corer), 0.1m2 (Box Corer) and 0.05m2 (Mini Box Corer) of sediment with …

The Box Corers are simple and reliable corers for sampling an area of 0.25m² of sediment with minimal disturbance and sample contamination. Its unique double shovel design allows easy …
