Full description

This report presents results of a geotechnical field survey conducted by L. Makarucha of the Department of Housing and Construction during the summer of 1982/1983. The report details test pits, sediment samples and salt analyses for the area around Davis covering the Law Cairn, Dingle Valley to Lake Dingle, Adam's Flat and Heidemann Valley. It included photos of the clearing of vehicle track that are still used.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: Sediment samples were analysed for grain size for geotechnical purposes so size class categories do not match those used in geosciences.

Notes

Purpose
Data set was collected to assess the suitability of the area for runway construction. Sediment samples and excavation descriptions can be used to characterise surficial geology and Late Cenozoic paleoenvironments.

Data time period: 1982-12-06 to 1983-03-01
