How to Collect a Mangrove Peat Core

Video is an effective medium to demonstrate scientific methods. This video shows how to extract a peat core in a mangrove forest, which then can be used to reconstruct past changes in sea level as well as for other purposes. Such videos can be submitted along with a manuscript to a journal or embedded on a website. Full citation: McKee et al.
