    Abstract
    Soil data accumulated during the last century and more recent developments in sensors and information technology prompt the development of new geotechnical solutions for soil assessment. We have advanced three complementary tools: Lab-on-a-Bench, the soil properties database with corresponding IT Tool and the in-situ characterization Multiphysics Probe. Lab-on-a-Bench technology combines cutting-edge sensors and sensing concepts within compact devices and effective laboratory protocols to allow multi physics soil characterization: specific surface measurements for fine-grained soils and particle size distribution, shape, packing densities and angle of repose for coarse-grained soils using image analysis and corresponding devices. The soil properties database and complementary IT Tool provide a self-consistent set of soil parameters based on known properties. The advances in in-situ characterization focus on a Multiphysics Probe and include measurements of remnant magnetization to identify metalliferous sediments for deep-sea mining applications and shear wave measurements for stiffness assessments. All methods, protocols, devices and technology are applied to Red Sea sediments to establish a baseline for future industrial and economic developments

    Export search results

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
