چکیده
Vibracoring is a subsurface sediment acquisition (sediment coring) technique (Pierce and Howard, 1969; Howard and Frey, 1975; dreher et al., 2008) that returns sediment preserved within its stratigraphic and sedimentologic context. This process (see appendix 1) generates a continuous, contiguous sediment sample at a point by vibrating an aluminum core barrel vertically into the sediment (fig. 10.1). One advantage of vibracoring is that core depths (up to ~7.5 m) can be extracted preserving stratigraphic layering, sedimentary structures, fossils, and lithology in their natural context.

متن کاملDistribution and Abundance of the Corals around Hengam and Farurgan Islands, the Persian Gulf
The percentage cover and distribution of scleractinian corals were studied at two Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. Survey techniques involved the use of 20-m line transects placed at 4-9 m depth interval, parallel to the shore. GIS based maps were employed to show the distribution of hard corals. In Farurgan Island, hard coral cover was concentrated in the west and north-west of the island,...
