Dr. Robert Gilbert (Queen's University) has been busy putting together sediment traps and here he demonstrates how the yellow collecting funnels will focus sediment into the collection tube. Our moorings will have three to four of these traps located at different depths in the ocean, each designed to collect material derived from potentially different sources (wind, ice berg rafting, ice shelf rafting or laterally transported material).
Help us provide an accessible education, offer innovative resources and programs, and foster intellectual exploration.
