| 09WCC01 | Push Corer A push corer is a simple yet effective sediment sampling device used to collect short cores from the seabed or shallow water environments. Unlike gravity or piston corers, which rely on weight and free-fall, a push corer is manually or remotely pushed into the sediment to retrieve an undisturbed sample. It is commonly used in shallow waters, wetlands, and targeted deep-sea locations via ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles). |
