IMAGES: Multi Ray Imaging, Gravity and Boxcoring

Multibeam imaging is a type of echo location using multiple sensors to create a 3D image of the sea floor under a ship as it passes, with the sensors mounted on its hull. The resulting image is about 1 km wide depending on the depth and may reveal traces of glacial activity, trawl marks or indicators of petroleum, such as pockmarks from methane bursts.
A Gravity corer is a long cylinder that is lowered from a ship down into the sediments on the ocean floor. It is able to collect a core that preserves layers of sedimentation up to 5-6 meeters deep. A gravity core may contain silt and clay from as long back as 8-10 thousand years ago. The stratas within the core can be read as an vertical cronological archive of the condition and history of the site it was sampled from.
A box corer is a box that is lowered into the shallower sediments providing a larger but shallower area of study. Both of the core sampling techniques can provide geological and biological information for the trained observer.
