Livingstone Corer
View through CrossRef
The Livingstone Corer, developed in the mid 1950's, is a light-weight, piston corer used to collect freshwater sediments from shallow lakes and ponds, up to a depth of 25m. Also referred as a stationary-piston corer, the Livingstone corer can be used year-round;
other advantages include portability and ease of use. Cores are extracted either in the field or upon return to the lab. Special care is necessary to ensure minimal disturbance of the sample in transit to the laboratory. Disadvantages include limits on the depth of water, the length of core and
potential for disturbance of the core stratigraphy. The equipment owned by the GSC provides different options for core diameter (2 or 3 inch OD), core barrel length (3 or 6.5 ft long), and different types of core barrel materials (aluminum or clear plastic).
