Van Veen grab sampler
text:
The Van Veen grab sampler is an instrument to sample sediment in water environments. Usually it is a clamshell bucket made of stainless steel. Up to 20 cm deep samples of roughly 0.1 m2 can be extracted with this instrument. It can be light-weight and low-tech. The smallest version even fits into hand luggage. The sampler was invented by Johan van Veen in 1933. A draw-back of the use of this sampler is that it tends to disturb the sediments more than a box corer does.
