Abstrakt: The article discusses the acquisition of surface sediment samples during the ANT-XXVI/2 expedition that started from the bunker pier Cabo Negro near the town of Punta Arenas in Chile on November 27, 2009. It says that the samples were acquired to generate reference data sets for paleoceanographic proxy calibration, understand the sedimentation processes and document modern sedimentation pattern. According to the author, a multi-corer (MUC) was deployed at 50 sites to recover surface sediment. The biogeochemical analyses of some stations bottom water are also discussed.
