08CEV02Sediment Trap
A sediment trap is an instrument widely used in oceanography and marine science to collect and measure particles sinking through the water column toward the seafloor. Sediment traps help scientists study biogeochemical cycles, carbon flux, and sediment transport processes in aquatic environments.
