Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 1, pg. 4:
WHOI scientists Joan Bernhard (left) and Virginia Edgcomb observe core sampling devices loaded onto the front basket of the deep-sea vehicle Jason. Using Jasons manipulator arms, pilots push plastic cylinders (right) into the seafloor to collect sediment samples at the edge of the brine pool, which scientists call the beach. Scientists examine the samples for anything living within them.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, vol. 50, no. 2, page 30:
Pilots used Jason's manipulator arms to push plastic cylinders (right) into the seafloor, including the light-colored area that scientists called "the beach" at the edge of a DHAB. The pushcores collected samples of sediments and anything living within them.
