I'm looking to buy a sediment corer for sampling high-elevation lakes. The lakes will be 5-20m deep with soft sediment. I only need 1 m or less of sediment. A wide diameter is prefered so I can sub-sample thin core sections for various analyses, including mercury. Ligh-weight is also preferred since the lakes are hard to access. I am thinking that a gravity corer will be best. I need it in a month.
Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with advice on what kind of corer to get, and where I could buy one or have it made. thanks, Koren Nydick Mountain Studies Institute www.mountainstudies.org
