Vibrocore sampling

Vibrocore sampling is a method used to collect soil or sediment samples from the ground or underwater. It uses a vibrating core sampler that drives a cylindrical tube into the earth, capturing a vertical section of the layers below. The vibration helps the tube penetrate hard materials more easily. Once the tube is retrieved, it contains a continuous sample of the soil or sediment, allowing scientists to study its composition, structure, and any contaminants. This technique is essential in fields like geology, environmental science, and engineering for understanding the subsurface conditions.
