The DEM was produced at a 1 metre pixel size and is available in ESRI grid, ESRI ascii and BIL formats. The DEM and image products are stored in a Universal Transverse Mercator zone 43 south projection, based on the WGS84 datum.

The image products are geotiffs as follows.

Distribution and abundance of breeding seabirds at Heard I and the McDonald Is.

This dataset comprises a broad range of component datasets derived from ground surveys aerial photography and oblique photography. Since the data have also been derived from old station logs for the 1947-54 period, and from published and unpublished records for the 1947-present day period.

Aerial and oblique photography has been used to obtain supplementary information on distribution and abundance of seabirds in the region.

Recent surveys, 2000/01 onwards, have made use of GPS for more precise geographic information on seabird nests and colonies.

At present there are a number of child metadata records attached to this record. See the link above for details.
