FIELDWORK EQUIPMENT

The field equipment includes equipment for sampling of an undisturbed sequence of loose sediments (soils and sediments) - an Eijkelkamp percussion drill (Cobra TT) for sampling to a depth of about 10 m, and an Eijkelkamp auger for sampling up to a depth of about one meter. An undisturbed sequence of lacustrine and marine sediments can be sampled with a floating platform “Q2” equipped with a piston corer (UWITEC). The length of cored sediments can reach about 10 m and sampling can be performed up to a water depth of 100 m.

The geophysical equipment for studies of the sea and lake subsurface includes various sonars that are based on propagation of the acoustic waves. Side-scan sonar (SSS) and multibeam (MBS) are used for studies of the sea or lake bed, at a depth range up to 400 m. The sub-bottom profiler (SBP) is used for penetration into the subsurface. Precise positioning is insured using real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS positioning system.
