| A new 46-meter-long coring system was tested successfully during cruise 191 of research vessel (R/V) Knorr in September 2007. During sea trials in water depths of 4.6 kilometers on the Bermuda Rise, coring operations from the vessel—operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)—successively recovered piston cores increasing in length from 26 to 38 meters, with sediment recovery at 85–89% of the core barrel length. An additional 25-meter core was recovered in 670 meters of water on the upper continental slope off New Jersey. The Bermuda Rise location, which is a well-sedimented drift deposit at the northeastern margin of the rise, has been cored many times previously, including by R/V Knorr's giant piston corer in 1973, by R/V Marion... |
