Core flow and sampling strategy

The core flow for Expedition 331 will be modified to accommodate the potential risk for elevated H2S gas to levels hazardous to health, as well as to ensure that sampling for microbiological studies is possible (Fig. F9). These modifications include adjustments to fit the 4 inch aluminum liners used with the BHI system into the work flow. These cores will be crane-lifted in a container from the aft deck to a point near the core processing deck.
