Abstract

Vibracoring has been described as an efficient method for the sampling of unconsolidated sediments. In order to improve portability as well as reduce weight, a vibracorer was developed from a brush cutter, with some adaptations. The results show the advantages of the model, even for its use in offshore areas.
