The Haps multicore takes four sediment cores at a time. This picture was taken as it was being lowered into the waters of the Arctic ocean during the SBI summer cruise. TEA Betty Carvellas worked with Dr. Jackie Grebmeier on that cruise.

Betty Carvellas scoops mud from a sediment core into a can which will be taken back to the University of Tennessee Knoxville for analysis. The work is part of the SBI summer cruise where Betty worked under the guidance of Dr. Jackie Grebmeier.

Dr.Lee Cooper, Jim Bartlett and Betty Carvellas are taking sediment samples from the first Van veen grab on board the USCGC Healy during the summer SBI cruise. At each sampling station, we lowered the the van Veen grab 5 times to retrieve sediment from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean along the shelf, the slope or the basin.
