Jun 5, 2014 · The first thing to think about before starting to take your peat core is where to take it from. This generally involves finding the deepest (and hence oldest) part of the peatland and then selecting a location that is likely to have been sensitive to change over time.

To extract peat monoliths, we use a Belarus corer for deep layers and a Wardenaar device for surface layers. Both corers are constructed using titanium alloys to improve strength, reduce weight, and minimize the risk of contamination by the trace metals of environmental relevance.

Currently, our data repository includes 268 peat core records from 215 sites located in the northern hemisphere. This valuable information can help resolve fundamental questions related to past, present, and future carbon and nutrient cycling in peatlands.

Using the state of the art procedures and field equipment, peat cores are collected in such a way as to provide high quality records for paleoenvironmental study. Pertinent field observations gathered during the fieldwork are recorded in a field report.

For detailed reconstructions of atmospheric metal deposition using peat cores from bogs, a comprehensive protocol for working with peat cores is proposed. The first step is to locate and determine suitable sampling sites in accordance with the principal goal of …

May 11, 2011 · Dr Marcus Vandergoes, a paleoecologist at GNS Science, explains how cores from Ōkārito Pākihi and other Westland peat bogs provide evidence for climate and environmental change over the last 135,000 years. Precise dating is important so that the speed of past climate changes can be estimated.

For detailed reconstructions of atmospheric metal deposition using peat cores from bogs, a comprehensive protocol for working with peat cores is proposed. The first step is to locate and determine suitable sampling sites in accordance with the principal goal of the study, the period of time of interest and the precision required.
