This dataset resulted from a GPS survey of contaminants at the abandoned Wilkes station, Windmill Islands, Antarctica in January, February 1999. The survey was carried out by Nadia Babicka of Macquarie University in collaboration with Dr Ian Snape of the Australian Antarctic Division. Assistance was provided by David Smith of the Australian Antarctic Data Centre in converting Nadia's GPS data to GIS format and creating an interactive map to display the data.

The zip file available for download from this metadata record includes: 1 A readme file outlining its contents; 2 An ArcMap 9.2 document displaying Nadia's data against a background of topographic data; 3 A folder of photos taken by Nadia. These photos are linked in the ArcMap document to the point, line and polygon features collected by Nadia.

The topographic data displayed in the ArcMap document is from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre's GIS database. The AADC also has an orthophoto of Clark Peninsula which could be used as background in the ArcMap document. Submit a request at https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/requests/ if you would like a copy of the orthophoto.

A more recent survey was carried out by Kirstie Fryirs of Macquarie University in 2010. Refer to the metadata record with ID 'ASAC_1163_WilkesGIS_2010'.

In 2010 we undertook sampling of soil and waters around Wilkes station and the main tip site. We repeated the work of Snape et al. 1999 and took a more dense set of samples across the area to determine the extent and types of contamination. These data are complementary to the 1999 GIS dataset (see the metadata record with ID - ASAC_1163_WilkesGis_1999).

Description: Additional spatial data were collected and added to the existing AAD Wilkes GIS database (Nadia Babicka map). Locations of sediment, water, potentially hydrocarbon contaminated sediment, potentially hydrocarbon contaminated water and background samples were collected by Macquarie University and AAD staff, in January 2010, including hyperlinked sample photos; locations of Wilkes station buildings with numbers from Snape et al (1998)

Created by: Macquarie University, Oct 2010

Files: The data are held as an ArcGIS 9.3 document with associated shapefiles.

This dataset includes maps produced from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre GIS for use in environmental management of the 'old' Casey station tip site and the abandoned Wilkes station site: a map of the Windmill Islands showing the locations of Casey and Wilkes, contour maps of Casey and Wilkes and a map showing the water flow directions at Casey. The maps were used for locating contaminated areas and identifying the processes involved in contamination spread. Also included in the dataset is the GIS topographic and derived data used to create the maps.

It comprises a digital map showing the locations of Windmill Islands lichenometric observations and a linked digital database containing the maximum thallus size recorded at each location. It includes observations of lichens growing on nunataks for which the time of deglaciation is known and observations of lichens growing on supraglacial moraine ridges for which the time of formation is not known. This dataset thus provides the basis for a relative chronology of moraine development based on the assumption that the growth of the lichen thallus has been constant since the time of deglaciation. These data were compiled by Dr Ian D Goodwin from his own field notes and from the records of other workers. See the linked document at the URL below for further information.
