| Core Logger | Core Loggers capture physical measurands of sediment cores. AWI holds different Geotek Ltd. Core Loggers with different sensor set-ups. Maximum 3 Core Loggers can be stored and operated on FS Polarstern cruises. |
| Dredge (barrel 470mm) | The dredge is a trawl net mounted to a heavy frame which is dragged over the seafloor behind the ship to collect samples from the seafloor. |
| Dredge (box 980x320mm) | The dredge is a trawl net mounted to a heavy frame which is dragged over the seafloor behind the ship to collect samples from the seafloor. |
| Giant Box Corer | The Giant Box Corer samples a comparable large area of the sediment surface (50 x 50 cm) with minimal disturbance and collects a large block of sediment up to 60 cm below the sea floor. This gear is particularly useful for quantitative investigations of the benthic micro- to macrofauna. |
| Gravity Corer | The gravity corer allows researchers to sample and study sediment layers at the bottom of oceans. Gravity carries it to the bottom of the water body to recover sediment cores. |
| Kasten Corer | The Kasten Corer is a technical modification of the standard gravity corer which allows researchers to sample and study sediment layers at the bottom of oceans. |
| Multi Corer | This corer is used to collect multiple undisturbed sediment samples including the sediment-water interface and overlying supernatant water, and sediment pore water at a high quality. |
| Piston Corer | The Piston Corer recovers the stratigraphically longest sediment sections with up to 30m. |
| TV-guided Multiple Corer (TV-MUC) |
