Core sampler

A core sampler is a device used to extract a cylindrical section of material, such as soil, rock, or ice, from the Earth's surface or other environments. It helps scientists and engineers study the internal composition, layers, and properties without significant disturbance. For example, in geology, core samplers reveal underground structures, ancient climate data, or mineral deposits. They come in various sizes and types, often resembling large tubes that are pushed into or rotated within the material to retrieve a continuous sample. This technique provides valuable insight into the history and characteristics of the sampled environment.
