Grain-size properties of grab-sampled sediments from the German Bight during R/V Heincke cruise HE501
At 63 stations Van-Veen-Type grap samples (HELCOM standard) were collected to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. Each sample was photographed and macroscopically described on board. Grain-size analyses for samples with fractions smaller than 2 mm were carried out with a CILAS 1180 L laser...

Summary: | At 63 stations Van-Veen-Type grap samples (HELCOM standard) were collected to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. Each sample was photographed and macroscopically described on board. Grain-size analyses for samples with fractions smaller than 2 mm were carried out with a CILAS 1180 L laser particle sizer (0.04–2500 µm) after chemical treatment according to standard procedures (Hass, H.C.; Kuhn, G.; Monien, P.; Brumsack, H.J.; Forwick, M. Climate fluctuations during the past two millennia as recorded in sediments from Maxwell Bay, South Shetland Islands,West Antarctica. Geol. Soc. Lond. Spec. Publ. 2010, 344, 243–260). Samples with fractions larger than 2 mm were additionaly wet sieved. |
