BIO250 Paleoecology, Department of biological sciences, University of Bergen

2
00:00:05.165 --> 00:00:09.425
We are at Lygra, near Bergen in Hordaland

3
00:00:09.425 --> 00:00:13.270
students walk on a path in the fields

4
00:00:13.270 --> 00:00:15.460
they wear raingear and boots, and carry equipment down to a bog

5
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:23.128
students work in small groups, looking a core samples and taking notes

6
00:00:23.128 --> 00:00:43.482
text - "The bog" - we see an aerial view of the bog marked with a pin, a small forest is visible in the foreground, a fjord in the background

7
00:00:43.482 --> 00:01:05.957
text - "The transect" - a group of students walk across the fieldwork area, they use a long measuring tape to mark a transect

8
00:01:05.957 --> 00:01:19.050
text - "Coring at the bog" - students work at various locations, looking at core samples, taking measurements and writing down notes in a book

00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:29.075
text - "The russian corer"

10
00:01:29.075 --> 00:01:40.268
2 students are assembling a russian corer, putting together the sampler and a T-shaped handle

11
00:01:40.268 --> 00:01:52.287
the 2 parts are secured with a screw that goes all the way through the tube of the sampler

12
00:01:52.287 --> 00:02:11.491
the students are pushing down the sampler in the ground

13
00:02:11.491 --> 00:02:23.408
an additional rod is added to the assembly to bring the sampler further down, and secured with a screw

14
00:02:23.408 --> 00:03:02.593
a stronger handle is mounted on the rod

15
00:03:02.593 --> 00:03:13.458
the students rotate the handle counterclockwise and lift the corer out of the ground

16
00:03:13.458 --> 00:03:32.570
the rods and handles are being dismounted

17
00:03:32.570 --> 00:03:44.255
the students look at the sample in the corer, checking layers, looking at the texture of the sample and taking measurements

18
00:03:44.255 --> 00:03:49.582
text - "Take field notes"

19
00:03:49.582 --> 00:04:11.950
students take notes of the measurements, the sample properties, and other useful observations

20
00:04:11.950 --> 00:04:16.248
text - "Preserving the core"

21
00:04:16.248 --> 00:04:33.485
students put the core sample onto a sheet of  aluminium foil

22
00:04:33.485 --> 00:05:04.715
the sample is now being wrapped in a plastic foil, and marked before being stored away
