Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 40, No. 2, Inside Front Cover:
A sediment trap is lowered into the water to take its place on a mooring line, where it will collect 6 to 12 months’ worth of particles descending through the water column in discrete samples that represent time periods ranging from several days to a month each. More than 280 such instruments are deployed around the world by investigators who represent a variety of research institutions and who are all contributing to understanding of Earth’s biogeochemical cycles. See pages 8 to 10 for more information on sediment traps.
