Definition | A marine geological coring device designed to sample large volumes of soft sediments. The kasten corer may come in four different lengths (2 m, 3 m, or 4 m), and uses a stainless steel box with a rectangular section of 15 cm^2 to push into the sediment with the help of a weight on top and a trap at the bottom. To deploy and retrieve the corer, the track and tilt system is used. After retrieval, a removable side of the core barrel can provide immediate access to the sampled sediment. The kasten corer is a variation of the gravity corer. |
