The present invention relates to the technical field of deep-sea mining environmental
impact monitoring, and discloses a deep-sea
seabed floating
sediment re-
sedimentation measurement device. Deep-sea mining activities cause the disturbance of
seabed sediments, and the re-floating and re-settlement process will bury or semi-bury benthic organisms, and have an
impact on individual deep-sea benthic organisms, including species death, changes in
gene expression, changes in heavy
metal content in organisms, etc., thereby changing the deep-sea benthic
biodiversity,
community structure and
spatial distribution pattern, etc., and affecting the deep-sea environment. At present, there is no device or equipment that can measure the thickness of the re-deposited sediments disturbed on the deep-sea
seabed and collect the re-deposited sediments. The device includes a
sediment accumulation measurement seat, an
infrared rangefinder body and a collection tube, wherein a
sediment collection tube body is provided on the top of the sediment accumulation measurement seat, a funnel is fixedly connected to the top of the sediment collection tube body, and the
infrared rangefinder body and the sediment collection tube body are connected by a position adjustment mechanism.
