Abstract:
1. An apparatus for analyzing submarine sediment drilled in a form in which it is filled in a drilled core through ocean exploration, where the drilled core is placed on a ship, the apparatus comprising: a core temperature measuring unit measuring a temperature of a predetermined portion of the drilled core positioned on a ship to search a portion where it is doubted that gas hydrate is present and a portion where it is not doubted that gas hydrate is present; a gas content analyzing unit analyzing a kind and a content of gases included in a sample collected from the drilled core in a state in which it is positioned on the ship; and a salinity measuring unit measuring salinity of the sample collected from the drilled core in a state in which it is positioned on the ship, wherein the core temperature measuring unit includes an infrared camera for photographing the drilled core to measure and display a relative temperature in the drilled core, and wherein the gas content analyzing unit analyzes a kind and a content of gases included in a sample collected at a portion having a relatively lower temperature among samples collected in the drilled core.
