Project LIRmeter:
LIR is an acronym for Lance Insertion Retardation Meter, meaning the deccelartion during
penetration of the lance into the soil.
The LIRmeter is a follow up system of many yaers of development at the university of Bremen (Villinger et al.., Fabian et al.). It is the goal of the instrument, to test the upper 3 - 5 m of sediment in a rapid and easy to handle procedure. From deck of a research vessel, the lance is lowered into the grioung many times in a pogo style method. The negative accelleration is the measure for the stiffness we use for soil classification. Funding for this project is donated from the state of Bremen under the title "Angewandte Umweltforschung" and from the European Fonds for regional development 2007-2013.
