A method for sampling fine-grained surface sediments in intertidal areas
Abstract
The upper 2-5 mm of the intertidal zone can be sampled using a dry ice acetone freezing technique. The method consists of freezing a thin layer of sediment to the bottom of a steel can to recover a thin frozen disk that can be analyzed for sediment properties such as texture and composition.
