Instrument: Advanced Piston Corer

Acronym: APC

External Identifier: odo:matches: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Description

The JOIDES Resolution's Advanced Piston Corer (APC) is used in soft ooze and sediments. The APC is a hydraulically actuated piston corer designed to recover relatively undisturbed samples from very soft to firm sediments.

More information is available from IODP (PDF).
