This metadata record gathers a range of descriptive geomorphological information of various nature: -Habitat surveys were conducted in the season 2004-2005 in the Mawson area in parallel with bird nest mapping (reported in metadata record SNPEMAWSON0405) in order to study selection of nest sites by a range of species.
