This Sediment Drilling Facility for Environmental and Genetic Archives combines versatile augers with new field spectrometers that will enable sediment extraction and rapid, in situ measurements from coastal, lake and riverine environments. The facility includes a compact geotechnical drill rig, a portable power auger with hydraulic extraction unit, a vibracorer with motorised pontoon, laser induced breakdown spectrometer and magnetic susceptibility. With access co-ordinated through the Queensland Geochronology Alliance, the new facility will enable university researchers unprecedented access to field equipment required to address questions about changing ecology, landscape and climate on recent and geological timescales.

这一用于环境和遗传档案的沉积物钻探设施将多功能螺旋钻与新的现场光谱仪相结合，将能够从沿海、湖泊和河流环境中提取沉积物并进行快速原位测量。 该设施包括一台紧凑型土工钻机、一台带有液压提取装置的便携式动力螺旋钻、一台带有机动浮筒的振动器、激光诱导击穿光谱仪和磁化率。 通过昆士兰州地质年代学联盟协调访问，新设施将使大学研究人员能够前所未有地获得解决最近和地质时间尺度上变化的生态，景观和气候问题所需的现场设备。
