Abstract

A refined wet sieving method for the analysis of nonlithified oceanic and marine sediments is suggested based on comparison of the Petelin (SIO, Russia) and Atterberg (AWI, Germany) methods, which makes it possible to accelerate the gathering and processing of grain-size data and significantly improve the convergence between results obtained in Russian and foreign laboratories.
