Shallow Geotechnics

Collection of seabed samples is often required for seabed geological mapping to ground-truth geophysical investigations, for validation of sediment transport models and to delineate benthic habitats for environmental impact assessment. We undertake a range of seabed sampling activities including:

  • Grab sampling using Day, van Veen, and Hamon grabs
  • Box coring (e.g. NIOZ box corer)
  • Gravity coring
  • Vibro-coring (3 to 6 m)
