Sediment Traps

To evaluate settling particles, AOG utilizes sediment net traps.  Net traps have two advantages for AOG over traditional traps such as PIT or Mark78 traps.  First, they are light-weight and easily transported.  Second, they have much larger collection areas than regular traps, allowing rapid collection of material (typical deployments are 1-2 days) for organic workup.
