Funded Activity Summary

Sediment Drilling Facility for environmental and genetic archives. This Sediment Drilling Facility for Environmental and Genetic Archives combines versatile augers with new field spectrometers that will enable sediment extraction and rapid, in situ measurements from coastal, lake and riverine environments. The facility includes a compact geotechnical drill rig, a portable power auger with hydraulic extraction unit, a vibracorer with motorised pontoon, laser induced breakdown spectrometer and magnetic susceptibility. With access co-ordinated through the Queensland Geochronology Alliance, the new facility will enable university researchers unprecedented access to field equipment required to address questions about changing ecology, landscape and climate on recent and geological timescales.
