During expedition PS140, two main sediment coring devices were applied during cruise PS140. The first was a gravity corer (GC), which consists of a 2.3 t weight and an up to 25 m long steel pipe (in 5 m-barrel-increments). In addition to gravity coring, we used both AWI piston coring systems, with diameters of 90 mm (PC 90) and 125mm (PC-125). In total, 22 piston corers (PC) with core barrel lengths between 15 and 25 m, 26 gravity corers (GC) with lengths between five and eight metres, and one Kasten Corer (KC) with a device length of 5.75 m were used to recover long sedimentary sequences. Piston core PS140_131-1 was recovered from the East Indian Ocean Transect. The overall goal of PS140 was to enhance our understanding of Quaternary processes as well as the orbital to submillenial-scale evolution of ice-ocean-climate interactions during deglacial warming and climate intervals that were warmer than today.
