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.
