Scripps Institution of Oceanography, one of the first U. S. institutions to undertake large-scale collection of sediment cores, has historically been a leader in core curation. The Sediment Core and ...

When an earthquake causes a landslide, debris flow, or erosion, it can change the makeup of nearby lakes by introducing ...

Core Processing & Sedimentology Labs Our two labs help process and analyze sediment samples and sediment cores collected from terrestrial, lake, and marine environments. We perform chemical and ...

A new health risk emerged from the sediment in New Orleans — test results show that diesel and fuel oils, which can take years to break down, make up as much as a 10th of the weight of some samples.

Intriguingly, the sediment core, which acts like the rings of a tree, revealed 574 distinct storm layers—tempestites—formed when powerful waves carried coarse particles from the reef into the ...

David Fastovich (left) led a study that used pollen data from lake sediment cores to track how tree populations respond to climate change. In the photo above, he is shown sampling a sediment core ...

Sampling of sediment in plane parallel, rectangular coring tubes eliminates the need of core imbedding or sample preparation for radiography. Stereoradiography of unextruded, rectangular sediment ...

An interdisciplinary research team aboard WHOI-operated research vessel Neil Armstrong collected the deepest sediment sample core from the Atlantic Ocean. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

The core samples are expected to help scientists analyze the history of climate and environmental changes on the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over the past 150,000 years.
